appalachian artists

This past weekend on Appalachian Vibes Radio Show my guest was Sol Roots, the DC based funky, blues and roots inspired singer-songwriter.

Sol grew up working with his father, and a close family friend Tim Duffy, who created a non profit called Music Maker Foundation. They travel around recording legendary blues and roots artists for posterity. These musicians became his teachers and mentors, and now Sol passes on the music he grew to love so deeply.

Hello friends, 

This week we dive into the history of quilting in Appalachia with Stories of the Stitch, a quilt show at Matthews History Living History Farm Museum. Dozens of quilts hung from clothes lines, brightly woven fabrics blowing against the sky. Any quilter will tell you, quilts are more than a blanket to keep you warm on chilly evenings. They are one of the first forms of art in Appalachia, often commemorating a life event, like the story of a birth, a death, an injury, or a wedding.

This week my guest is Cody Christian; the Powhatan, VA, Americana, country artist who made waves in late 2021 when he quit his 8 year job at a shipyard by sending a mass email to every employee that stated, I deserve to work in an environment where my beard is valued, I’ve accepted a position as a honky tonk man And I can’t seem to stop.” Adding, I wish you all the best of luck as you mismanage this company into inevitable bankruptcy. Don’t go chasing waterfalls. 

I catch up with Cody Christian about his latest album, canary in a coal mine, that drops August 5th on all streaming platforms.
