PRESERVING MTN MUSIC TRADITIONS
DEDICATED TO APPALACHIA!
English folk song collector Cecil J. Sharp predicted that Appalachian music would die out by the 1950s as modernization would make its way into the rural folds of the mountains. Fortunately, the music lives on today, but its presence remains weakened.
In an effort to preserve Appalachia's music culture, Music of the Mountains is dedicated to promoting long-standing traditions of Appalachian Mountain music to keep it around for years to come!
SO, IF YOU'RE LIKIN' WHAT YOU'RE HEARIN', GET OUT THERE AND
SUPPORT MOUNTAIN MUSIC!
TRADITION DIES HARD. MEMORY MAY WEAKEN, BUT THE LOVE OF THE SONGS REMAINS AND WITH A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT, IT SPRINGS UP ANEW.
- Sheila Kay Adams, Appalachian Musician
MORE THAN THE MUSIC
Music of the Mountains is dedicated not only to preserving Appalachian music heritage, but also to promoting Appalachian Mountain communities.
Sadly, in late September 2024, our communities in the heart of Appalachia suffered from catastrophic flooding due to unprecedented Hurricane Helene.
Many communities are still in need of various resources to recover and rebuild in the weeks, months, and years to come. If you're able, please consider supporting them as they continue healing from Helene's devastating impact.
#APPALACHIASTRONG
TOGETHER, WE ARE
WHERE I GREW UP, I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN FROM THERE. THE CULTURE IN GENERAL IS ROOTED WITH A STRONG SENSE OF FAMILY; OF KIN; OF PLACE, GEOGRAPHICALLY; OF TRADITION. THERE'S A RESILIENCE, A STRONG WILL TO MAKE IT.
- Tyler Childers, Appalachian Musician
