  • You may have heard of Nicholas Edward Williams, thanks to his American Songcatcher program we air every other Tuesday morning at 7:51am, which explores traditional folk, blues and country songs and their impact. Or perhaps thanks to his creation of ReString Appalachia, dedicated to getting quality instruments back in the hands of those who lost them due to Hurricane Helene and other natural and economic disasters.

They play the Jones House Cultural Center in Boone on Friday, and Zadie’s Market in Marshall on Saturday.

Get to know this latest collection from the 63-year-old sage.
