This is the inaugural event of our Mountain Strong series, an occasional series designed to celebrate all the great things about the culture of the Southern mountains.
One of the great traditions of the Southern mountains is successful farming, both to sustain the family unit and to earn much-needed cash to pay property taxes and income taxes. Southern mountaineers, including those in Western North Carolina, knew how to care for the land and for growing things before it became a fashionable “environmental” thing to do.
Friday, May 5 – White Rock Revival, 7:00pm – White Rock Revival whose members hail from music-rich Madison County, will do double duty on May 5 as they play for us in addition to sharing descriptions and stories of farm life from first-hand experience. Formed in the early winter of 2019, White Rock Revival is a modern-traditional bluegrass band. Playing a variety of styles within the context of the bluegrass genre, White Rock Revival has a heavy rotation of gospel, traditional country from the 60’s through the 90’s, and hard-driving bluegrass. With strong family harmony and an instrumental foundation, they are an authentic representation of bluegrass music from members who were born and raised in the mountains where the music originated.
This event is FREE and open to the public.
