Join us for an intimate concert with folk legend Alice Gerrard and her band.
Gerrard is a talent of legendary status. With a career spanning more than 60 years, she has collaborated with many old-time and bluegrass greats and has earned worldwide respect for her important contributions to folk music.
Known for her groundbreaking collaboration with Appalachian singer Hazel Dickens during the 1960s and 70s, Gerrard influenced scores of young women singers, including Emmylou Harris, Naomi and Wynonna Judd, and Alison Krauss. She spent several years in Galax, where she documented, recorded, and played with several local musicians from Southwest Virginia and Northwest North Carolina, including Luther Davis, Otis Burris, Enoch Rutherford, Matokie Slaughter, and Tommy Jarrell. Gerrard recorded and toured widely with Tom Sauber and Brad Leftwich in the band Tom, Brad & Alice.
Gerrard founded The Old-Time Herald, a magazine dedicated to old-time music, in 1987. She served as editor-in-chief of the magazine until 2003. She has won numerous honors including a Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), the Tommy Jarrell Award from the North Carolina Folklore Society, and an Indy Award. You Gave Me a Song, a film about her life and music, premiered in 2019 and has shown at numerous film festivals. Gerrard and Dickens were inducted into the IBMA Hall of Fame in 2017.
Gerrard released her latest album Sun to Sun in 2023. The album features new songs, many of which she wrote during the pandemic. She collaborated on the arrangements with accompanying musicians Tatiana Hargreaves (fiddle, harmony vocals), Hasee Ciaccio (standup bass, electric bass), Reed Stutz (harmony vocals, mandolin, banjo), DaShawn Hickman (pedal steel), Marcy Marxer (lead guitar, banjo, cello), Gail Gillespie (banjo), Phil Cook (Rhodes piano, synth), Nicholas Falk (drums).
This event will take place in the indoor theater. Seating is limited. Advance tickets are recommended.
