My Favorite Appalachian Folk Song - David Lyden & Martha Owen 

My Favorite Appalachian Folk Song is hosted by Junior Appalachian Musicians to highlight the traditions of ballad singing throughout the JAM region of Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, East Tennessee, East Kentucky and West Virginia. These songs and stories showcase keepers of Appalachian traditions from ages 8 to 80. For our second series of MFAFS, we filmed at the Cherokee County Arts Council. Featured in this week’s video is David Lyden and Martha Owen playing “Sunny Side of Life”. Subscribe to our RU-vid for more!
The project is sponsored by Paige Capos, Hungry For Music, Recording King, and BlueRidge PBS.
Recorded at The Cherokee County Arts Council with the help of Eric Pratt, Jim Loyd, and Kevin Combs.
