New and Featured Releases for the Week of September 20th
We have enjoyed watching Dori's work evolve over the last few years. Freeman is about as “bonafide” as an Appalachian artist can be. She was raised among a family of musicians in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Yet in her just-released album, "Ten Thousand Roses", she shows how multifaceted she is as an artist and how eclectic she is as a person, defying and expanding notions of what it means to be someone from the region, a young woman in the music industry, and as an Americana artist.We welcome Dori to Studio B for the second time, just ahead of her show at Isis Music Hall in Asheville that evening.
