Speaker Sessions: Malcolm Smith on the Clawhammer Banjo Masters of Southwest Virginia

Birthplace of Country Music Museum 101 Country Music Way, Bristol
Hybrid Event

Join us on Tuesday, March 10 for a Speaker Session with Malcom Smith on the Clawhammer Banjo Masters of Southwest Virginia. SW Virginia has been and continues to be a hotbed of clawhammer banjo playing and old time music. Over the past year, a group of researchers and musicians have put together a new website featuring more than 50 Masters of the folk art, that includes biographies, tunes and anecdotes about the development of the style in the Blue Ridge and beyond.  Hear these Masters come to life as Dr. Malcolm Smith, who spearheaded the project along with banjoist Mac Traynham and fiddler and web designer, Jason Phillips, shares stories, music and highlights from this new resource.
