ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW:
THE ALI RANDOLPH BAND
THE WISEMAN BROTHERS
BANDANA RHYTHM: Four Mitchell and Yancey County natives have combined not only their incredible musical talents, but as well their genuine love and passion for playing— and play they do! The unique sounds of Bandana Rhythm echo the traditional sounds of the mountains such as Celtic, gospel, bluegrass and folk. So pull up your favorite chair, sit back, get comfortable and enjoy the fresh and unique sounds of the Bandana Rhythm Band!
WILL RITTER: William was born and raised in Mitchell County, and has been soaking up tales, songs and tunes from old-time mountain storytellers for over a decade. He sings a number of songs dating back to the 1700's and earlier, many of which were sung in or around the Toe River Valley—including the original "Frankie Silver" ballad written in the 1830s. William plays banjo, fiddle, guitar, and other "string-ed things."
SHEILA KAY ADAMS: A seventh-generation Blue Ridge Mountains ballad-singer and storyteller, Sheila Kay is one of the best-known living ballad singers in North Carolina. Sheila Kay has also won countless awards and honors including the National Heritage Fellowship—the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts—and the prestigious North Carolina Heritage Award from the North Carolina Arts Council.
