An evening of Appalachian Music and Storytelling
Appalachia abounds with lonesome songs about killing. The term ballad, applied to traditional or folk music, means a narrative song. Murder ballads are a subgenre of the traditional ballad form dealing with a crime or a gruesome death.
Make plans to catch the 2022 Merlefest Band Competition Winners, the Burnett Sisters Band. Growing up playing music together in Boone, North Carolina, the sisters’ sound is focused around the type of breathtaking vocal harmonies that can only come from the unique bond shared by siblings, expertly complemented by tight instrumental arrangements and a bona fide love of the traditional songs they play.
Jeff Little is an award-winning musician from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. With few exceptions the piano does not play a prominent part in Americana or Appalachian music and is rarely the lead instrument
