But even in the rain late Sat night, the music was terrific. I’d seen Joe Craven before, so I had some idea what kind of performer he his, but I was even more impressed this time. He’s an incredibly innovative and sensistive mando and fiddle player, and his range of “found” percussive items is pretty amazing, including the jawbone of a donkey, complete with rattling teeth. And in every instance, no matter how weird the item, the rhythms Joe coaxes out of them are both rock solid and tasteful. This was (Californian) Joe’s first visit to Hickory Fest, and he obviously impressed the other performers, because he shared the stage with a bunch of them, including the Harris Brothers, Rowan Cunningham, Billy Gilmore, Mosier Brothers….
more coming….
Speaking of Arts Fest, Frank Vignola will be playing on Thursday night (July 14). If you caught December’s Mark O’Connor Acoustic Brew show at WPSU, you know what an amazing guitar player he is!!
]]>Thats it from Wilkesboro, NC for now. Paul
P.S. I got so sunburned from Friday. If you go to outdoor festivals remember the sunblock!
]]>I’ve seen him at Acoustic Brew, at festivals, and in a coffeehouse setting - he’s shined in every setting. He’ll be doing a house concert in Lemont tomorrow evening. In my book, a house concert setting is THE best way to see any solo performer; it’s intimate, often unplugged, and as close as you’re likely to get to hearing world class performers picking on your front porch!
I’m still not sure if I can make it or not; a large work deadline is fast approaching for me. But you should go, and I will live vicariously through your report here of how excellent the evening was, or if I get really far along tonight, I’ll see you there. Details:

The History of The National Folk Festival.
]]>First presented in St. Louis in 1934, the National Folk Festival is the oldest, longest-running and most diverse festival of traditional arts in the nation. Championed in its early years by Eleanor Roosevelt, it was the first event of national stature to put the arts of many nations, races and languages into the same event on an equal footing.
Some of the artists presented at the first festival are now legendary and the recordings and other documentation made possible by the National are precious. W.C. Handy’s first performance on a desegregated stage was at the 1938 National. It was the first national event to present the blues, Cajun music, a polka band, a Tex-Mex conjunto, a Sacred Harp ensemble, Peking opera - the list goes on and on.
Now entering its 72nd year, the National Folk Festival is still produced by the same organization that created it, the National Council for the Traditional Arts (NCTA). It is a traveling event produced in partnership with communities around the country, where the “National’s” three-year stay in each host city is intended to lay the groundwork for locally produced festivals and events that continue after the National moves on. To date, the National Folk Festival has been presented in 26 communities around the nation. Musicians and craftspeople from every state in the Union and most U.S. territories have participated in this “moveable feast of deeply traditional folk arts,” which is now attracting the largest audiences in its history.
