Ballads and unaccompanied traditional songs of Appalachia are timeless, soulful and evoke a deep sense of connection. For generations, people have kept these songs alive by teaching them to each other on porches, at gatherings and at work. In this presentation, musician Susan Pepper will sing some of her favorite ballads from the region while sharing stories and showing photos of the people and places from which she learned her songs. Pepper has spent many years collecting songs and stories from traditional singers in Western North Carolina. She has performed at the Library of Congress and teaches ballad workshops online as well as at regional and national venues such as Banjo-Fiddle Frolic, John C. Campbell Folk School and Traditional Youth Song Weekend. She has a Master of Arts in Appalachian Studies with a focus in music, and created an album of her field recordings with a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. She is also the co-producer of the recent Appalachian music film, The Mountain Minor.
This event will take place as a webinar.
Join us for unforgettable evenings of Celtic music and more on the second Monday of every month, hosted by lndie Award-winning guitarist Robin Bullock and four-time National Scottish Harp Champion Sue Richards.
Each month they are joined by a special guest.

During this 5-week online group class, Ben Brill will cover the fundamentals of ukulele and guitar and teach kids several cool-sounding songs they can play on the instrument right away. The group will even co-create an original song by the end of the class.
*For students interested in guitar, they’ll need to have a simple $10 device called a Capo to play along with the class.
This is a FUN, low-pressure way to have some enjoy music this summer. It’s great if students can attend all 5 classes, but they still can drop in any day and learn.
The event will happen weekly on Tuesday’s at 11 AM, starting July 7th, 2020. If you don’t yet own an instrument, Ben can make some suggestions. The cost of the sessions is $20 per class and can be paid upfront (all classes), OR per session.
If you’re interested in the group, send Ben a message so that you can receive the secure Zoom links to the meetings and farther instructions.
June 9, July 14, and August 11, 5:00-6:30pm
Sing-a-Longs feature music from Sandburg’s “The American Songbag.” Musicians will lead the audience in singing along, and song sheets will be available. The event is free and will be held at the amphitheater.
