Description

Hey Folks! I’m thrilled to share the second part of the “Sitting In” mini-series, where I hand over the podcast reins to some of my folky friends, so that they can share a story that ties into music preservation and play a few songs in line with their story.
My guest today is Sparrow, who along with her partner Keith, leads the Asheville, NC group The Resonant Rogues, who seamlessly weave the threads of old time, country, swing, folk and more into a beautiful tapestry that simultaneously showcases tradition and innovation. In late 2020, she was immersed in a month-long mentorship program at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, which has a fascinating history, curriculum and mission. This is a journal of her experience.

Tracing the roots of American music from its cultured past to artists playing it forward, join folk musician and host Nicholas Edward Williams for this audio documentary-style series. Each episode dives into 4-5 stories. We start with the journey behind a traditional song, then uncover the lives of impactful musicians across the American roots music spectrum; to someone doing so today. Hear stories of immigrants who brought their music to America, the pioneers who shaped us, the under-represented, and songs of the South: Gospel, Blues, Country, and the Folk music that's derived from it all.
