Blue Dodge - Barboursville, Virginia

I received an email from Tim Barnwell the other day. He writes:

"Details are finalized about the musician lineup for the Hands in Harmony concert. The Asheville Art Museum  will sponsor the concert at the Diana Wortham Theatre on next Tuesday, September 14th from 7-9pm. The event is being held in conjunction with the photographic exhibit, Hands in Harmony: Traditional Crafts and Music in Appalachia, based on my book of the same name. The concert will feature musicians from the book, including four-time Grammy Award winner David Holt, guitar master and builder Wayne Henderson from Virginia, and North Carolina Folk Heritage award winner Bobby McMillon, who will perform a capella ballads and tell folk stories. Also on hand will be Don Pedi , host of WCQS's weekly  traditional music program, Close to Home performing on the mountain dulcimer along with fiddle master Bruce Greene. Singer and banjo player Laura Boosinger will perform as well as Maggie Lauterer and husband Zack Allen. Ms. Lauterer, a former reporter for WLOS-TV,  will host the evenings events. Images from the Hands in Harmony project, including many not published in the book, will be shown on the backdrop during the musical performances.

Tickets are available from the Diana Wortham Theatre box office at Pack Place in downtown Asheville for just $10 ($8 for art museum members) with proceeds going to the performers, and online at http://www.dwtheatre.com/. My photographic exhibit will be on display at the Asheville Art Museum through October 10th."

Hands in Harmony is Tim Barnwell's latest book of photographs from rural North Carolina. If you are in the Ashville, North Carolina area this presentation is a great opportunity to see Tim's work and hear some of the musicians pictured in the book.
