SUMMARY:Ballad Night at the Old Marshall Jail Hotel
DESCRIPTION:The Old Marshall Jail Ballad Swap is an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in our Appalachian Heritage. This unique event\, hosted by Josh Copus\, Donna Ray Norton\, Sheila Kay Adams\, and Melanie Rice celebrates the rich tradition of ballads in Southern Appalachia. Ballads are hauntingly beautiful stories and narrative poems passed down through oral tradition and are told in song. This is a very casual event that we like to think of as a front porch experience\, where ballad singers from across the region tell stories\, sing songs\, talk about our history\, and have a great time! \nWhile ballads have been sung throughout Southern Appalachia\, Madison County in particular is known for its rich treasure trove of ballads and ballad singers. When English folk song collector Cecil Sharp visited Madison County in 1916\, he said he had found a “nest of singing birds.” The ballad tradition in Madison County alone goes back at least 9 generations\, making it one of the oldest unbroken non-indigenous oral traditions in the United States. \nSome of our regular Ballad Singers:  \n\nSheila Kay Adams \nDonna Ray Norton\nWilliam & Sarah Ritter \nBranson Raines\nLeila Weinstein\nSarah Songbird Burkey\nSusan Pepper\nJohn Analo Phillips\nJudy Rhodes\nand more (you can never tell who might show up!) \n\nCome early to get a table\, order yourself some supper and a few drinks!
