The Sounds of the Blue Ridge
Four music stages pack over 20 hours of music into the BRFF day. From Gospel to Blues, with a world of string band and old-time bluegrass pickin’ in between, the Blue Ridge Folklife Festival highlights “real roots” musicians who have been playing the music of the Southern Highlands most, if not all, of their lives.| Time | Stringband Stage |
