Appalachian Road Show

Appalachian Road Show is a visionary acoustic ensemble, bringing new-generation interpretations of traditional Americana, bluegrass, and folk songs alongside innovative original music — all presented with a common thread tied directly to the heart of the Appalachian region. The group seeks to honor the music, traditions, and history of the Appalachian people and region, as much as it does to forge its own fresh musical and entertainment trails, each endeavor infused with an authenticity and vitality born of their Appalachian roots.

Grammy-nominated banjoist Barry Abernathy, joins forces with Grammy-winning fiddler Jim VanCleve, fresh off of his recent stint touring with multi-platinum country artist Josh Turner, as well as esteemed vocalist and mandolinist Darrell Webb, who has recorded and toured with Dolly Parton and Rhonda Vincent, among many others. The group also includes 26-year-old “old soul” guitarist Zeb Snyder, whose fierce and versatile playing recalls Doc Watson and Norman Blake as readily as it does Duane Allman and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Band members have also performed in well-known bluegrass bands Mountain Heart, Russell Moore and 3rd Tyme Out, and J.D. Crow and The New South.

None of the Above

Working with traditional bluegrass instrumentation, central North Carolina’s None of the Above creates a unique sound that includes elements from bluegrass, Americana, alternative, folk, rock, and their own original material. The band maintains its traditional roots while drawing on each member’s interpretations and contributions, ultimately producing a sound that encapsulates the name, None of the Above.
