WNC, Past and Present: Ballad Singing in the Great Divide

Join ballad singer, clogger, and folklorist Ian Kirkpatrick as he shares discoveries from the 20th century collections of regional Songcatchers such as Cecil Sharp, Artus Moser, and Tilman Cadle. Attendees will also learn from Kirkpatrick how efforts of local ballad singers have helped in the preservation of the tradition into the 21st century and the virtual era.
