Appalachian

Appalachian music is a rich, traditional genre that evolved from the diverse cultural influences of early settlers in the Appalachian Mountains. Characterized by its use of acoustic instruments like banjo, fiddle, and guitar, it often features vocal harmonies rooted in folk and gospel traditions. This genre is celebrated for its storytelling through lyrical narratives, often exploring themes of rural life, love, hardship, and nature. Artists like Cleek Schrey and Amanda Cook bring innovative authenticity to the genre, while groups like Balsam Range and Wilson Banjo Co. blend traditional elements with contemporary flair. Appalachian music remains a testament to the enduring spirit and cultural heritage of the region.
