jack smith

a short one. not a lot too it. but his jacket kicks ass.

liz shaw

this one is about a local music instructor. truly keeping the music of appalachia alive.  growing up in north carolina, liz has been playing traditional clawhammer banjo and fiddle music since she was child.  this includes touring with her family as a young girl, as well as touring and collecting traditional folk songs of the region with her husband.  

liz does us all a favor by continuing the tradition as a teacher in athens, ohio.
