The Performing Arts Series at Shepherd University invites you to join us for our 12th ANNIVERSARY celebration of Appalachian roots featuring literature, storytelling, dance, music, art, and free workshops in beautiful Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Here you will find traditional artists deeply rooted in the hills and valleys of Appalachia with words and music to stir the heart. Picture of Shepherd University
