Daytime Singing Workshop and Evening Concert: Michael and Carrie Kline spent decades in the mountains of West Virginia, documenting the music and stories of the area’s residents. They have recorded thousands of interviews and spoken testimonials that give voice to people normally excluded from public conversations. As a performing duet, the Klines mingle stirring harmonies with interweaving guitar runs and cross-chording to produce an authentic sound that captures and conveys the spirit of the people and mountains they love to sing about. They address mountain music as social history expressing a level of truth seldom available on the printed page. In their singing workshop they will share the ancient ballads that make deep connections with the culture, landscapes and history of the Allegheny Highlands and the coalfields of Appalachia. Learn to sing some of the finest traditional songs, whether you are a new or experienced music maker, or simply interested in gaining insight into the complexity that is Appalachia.
