Featured Artists
Unspoken Tradition
Inspired by their own influences and the roots of traditional and newgrass music, this North Carolina-based quintet brings a sound that is both impassioned and nostalgic, hard-driving and sincere.
Mary Jane Queen
Old-time singer and banjo player, storyteller, traditional gardener
Mary Jane Queen lived in the Caney Fork section of Jackson County. Through her reservoir of traditional knowledge, her gardens, and her songs and stories, she communicated the values and traditions of her upbringing to modern audiences.
Bascom Lamar Lunsford
Old-time banjo player and singer, folklorist, (1882-1973)
Musician, folklorist, and festival organizer Bascom Lamar Lunsford was born in Madison County. His father was a Confederate veteran from East Tennessee, and his mother came from a Unionist family from Buncombe and Madison Counties. His mother was a ballad singer, and her family included fiddlers and other musicians.

The Great Flood of 2024: Tropical Storm Helene
Tropical Storm Helene devastated communities across Western North Carolina including Chimney Rock in Rutherford County, Swannanoa and Barnardsville in Buncombe, Crossnore in Avery, Old Fort in McDowell, Spruce Pine in Mitchell, and Hot Springs and Marshall in Madison to name a very few. This is not the first time that mighty waves of water have rolled through the region, causing devastation beyond comprehension. Singers and songwriters marked past events with songs, and it’s likely the same will happen now.
Otto Wood the Outlaw
America has seen its fair share of outlaws throughout history. Musicians have sung their tales, immortalizing them in song from coast to coast and contributing to this country’s folklore. North Carolina has a page in outlaw history with the bootlegger Otto Wood. Listen to learn more about Wood and others and the songs they inspired.
Shake things up with contradance! Tonight (12/20) at 7:30, the Friends of Hot Springs NC Contradance are hosting a gathering. Come with a partner or make some new friends!

NC photographer Mike Duncan passed away unexpectedly on December 7th. A supporter of music and friend to the bluegrass community, Mike could often be found, camera in hand, documenting concerts and musical gatherings across the region.
Rest in peace, Mike. And thank you for focusing your lens on NC.
