Event Details

Join us for the 2ed day of the 47th annual Berea College Celebration of Traditional Music, this year taking place virtually from Thursday, October 15 through Sunday, October 18^th.

The Berea College Celebration of Traditional Music seeks to represent homemade music passed on from person to person in the Appalachian Region, and the musicians who play it.

Friday and Saturday night concerts will feature West Virginia icon Alice Gerrard, who will perform with Kay Justice. Gerrard will be honored for her decades of contributions to traditional music with this year’s CTM Lifetime Achievement Award. The concerts will also feature legendary blues guitarist and Grammy nominee Guy Davis (L. Allen Smith performer); Clifftop winners The Big Possum String Band; the Gibson Family and their repertoire of religious song from Richmond, Kentucky; banjo player Kevin Howard from Eastern Kentucky; and storyteller Shelia Arnold from Washington D.C.
