An Evening with Mountain Music: The Melting Pot Sounds of Appalachian Folk Music
Appalachian music is truly authentic American music, influenced by Celtic music of the Irish, Welsh and Scots as well as European ethnic groups that settled among the 15 Appalachian states. Underlying lyrical themes of the songs often provided memorable – and sometimes harsh – lessons about life and religion. You'll certainly tap your feet and may want to sing along!
