~The Charlotte Folk
Society!~
The Charlotte
Folk Society concert on Friday, February 6th, will feature Jim Watson, Bill
Hicks, and Mike Craver (members of the original Red Clay Ramblers), with
old-time banjo master, Joe Newberry. In the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, the
Durham-Chapel Hill area gave rise to a revival of old-time music, especially
focused on the fiddle and banjo traditions of the Appalachian mountains. One of
the most significant bands to emerge from the region was the Red Clay Ramblers.
As well as Hicks, Craver, and Watson, the original band included the late Tommy
Thompson. Their energy, joy, instrumental prowess, and repertoire, which
included both traditional and creative contemporary compositions, made them
truly legendary. Join us at 7:30 PM in the Great Aunt Stella Center for the free
concert. Donations are appreciated. Jams sessions and song circle follow the
concert. www.folksociety.org.
