 Our exciting week
concludes with a rousing concert featuring some of the
region's top musicians. Once again, Goldenseal
editor John Lilly emcees the
evening, bringing his own inimitable yodeling, singing,
and guitar playing to the stage. Ann and Phil Case come to us from Kettering, Ohio. Their set will feature harmony singing and old-time music from the mountains. You may just be tempted to sing along, especially if you were able to join them Saturday morning for the community sing.
One of the "Banjo Women" featured in this week's photography exhibit, Diane Jones willentertain us with her traditional banjo playing and ballad singing. Diane will also be featured in a Saturday afternoon lecture/demonstration of "Banjo Women." Once again, we are pleased to feature one of West Virginia's cultural treasures, the Vandalia Award-winning Glen Smith. Joined by David O'Dell, Glen will treat us to some real old-time fiddling. If you're out and about during the day on Saturday, you just might catch Glen jamming on McMurran Lawn or at O'Hurley's General Store. The Samples Brothers String Band will bring the house down, playing foot-stomping string band music. Hailing from Glenville, West Virginia, they're led by Mac Samples, former president of the West Virginia State Folk Festival. |
