The goal of Fine Tuned: Volume One is to document the hard work, dynamic energy, and lasting growth that occurred for the participants of Fine Tuned project. The album features 10 tracks from six artist grouping and offers sounds of bluegrass, old time, Cherokee, country, blues, gospel, and more.
Fine Tuned: Volume One will present the sound of WNC traditional music in 2023. Available for release in late summer 2023, the the album will be offered in vinyl and CD format. Bring the dynamic energy of the Fine Tuned project into your music collection!
This magazine features a wealth of stories about WNC’s traditional music, the people that play it, and the places where you can experience it. You’ll learn more about the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area, discover our Fine Tuned recording project, hear about the impact of Doc Watson at 100, and access an extensive calendar of live music events. Read the full magazine online here or get your own copy here.
Woodcarver, dancer, musician, storyteller and quilter
Willard Watson and his wife Ora were among the extraordinary traditional artists in the Watson family of Watauga County, who were recognized with a 1994 North Carolina Heritage Award. Willard, a first cousin to famed guitarist Doc Watson, was widely known as a flatfoot dancer, storyteller, banjo player, and especially a woodcarver..
Old-time Musician
Multi-instrumentalist and singer Kelley Breiding has developed a deep relationship and understanding with the old-time music of northwestern North Carolina and the communities that surround those musical traditions. Kelley is particularly noted for her clawhammer banjo playing in the famed Surry County Round Peak style and her strong singing, and she showcases these skills in several regional bands.
Bluegrass bass player, dance caller, and storyteller
“I learned to play bass out of necessity,” says Ted White. The band needed a bass player.” Stepping into that role for the Whitewater Bluegrass Company, White not only makes a central musical contribution, but he also adds to the band’s performances with storytelling, Opry-style comedy, and dance-calling.
An intersection of the natural and musical heritage of WNC can be found in the high mountains. Red Spruce (picea rubens) is prominent at altitudes above 5,000 feet in the Southern Appalachians. It’s also one of the primary tonewoods used in traditional construction of mandolins and guitars. For this episode, we spent time with conservationist Marquette Crockett and luthier James Condino to learn more.
Traditional music in WNC is a cultural practice that expands into many ways to make a living. We most often think of performers, but for every live music event that takes place, there are folks behind the scenes crossing “I’s” and dotting “T’s” to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. One of the leaders in the event promotion industry is Claire Armbruster who owns and operates Planning Stages. We sat down recently with Claire to learn more about her, her experience, and the particulars of producing live music events.
