Acerca de esta escucha

 Carried on the transcendent tones of fiddle and banjo, this podcast blends music and storytelling to showcase the artists preserving central Appalachia’s musical history. Come along as we hear about the first families of old-time and bluegrass, the 1970’s festival scene, and pickin’ parties where classic tunes are passed down. Starting in 2020, when the Pocahontas County Opera House couldn’t have live concerts because of the pandemic, we individually hosted local musical legends to share songs and stories in our beautiful, empty opera house. This podcast is the result of those story sessions. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/story-sessions/supportOpera House Story Sessions Música

    In this episode, we will hear from my conversation with Dwight Diller. Dwight is a banjo player and teacher known for the "sledgehammer" banjo style and for documenting the stories and songs of the Hammons family. It is because of Dwight and people like Carl Fleischer and Alan Jabbour that we have records of the songs that were born out of these hills and hollers.

    Today we’ll hear from Homer Hunter. Homer is known locally for his tall tales, kindness towards others, and booming voice that he learned later in life to meld and weave into bluegrass tunes — playing and harmonizing with others in a truly special way.
