Summary
"The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina are the heart of a region where traditional music and dance are performed and celebrated as nowhere else in America. This guide puts readers on the trail to discover many sites where the unique musical legacy thrives, covering bluegrass and stringband music, clogging, and other traditional forms of music and dance. The manuscript includes driving directions, maps, and contact information for the featured sites, as well as color illustrations and profiles of prominent musicians. Chapters are organized county by county, and sidebars include interviews with and profiles of performers, information about various performance styles, and a brief history of Blue Ridge music. The updated second edition adds three new music venues, along with updated information on the dozens of music sites in Western North Carolina profiled in the beloved previous edition. Also included are new full-color photos, a new artist profile, and a CD of 26 classic songs from the mountains and the foothills."--
