Appalachian oral traditions of course highlight music.

Music will reside front and center at the Ralph Stanley Festival in Clintwood. Headlined by the John Cowan Band and Abingdon&#8217;s Dixie Bee-Liners, the program that runs from Sept. 26-28 also includes Bristol&#8217;s Fire in the Kitchen and the Mullins Family Singers.

Storytelling occupies significant space, too, said Aaron Davis, executive director and curator of the Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center.

Hungarian Choir To Perform 


Beth McCoy traveled to Hungary in 2006 to learn.

The artistic director of the Mountain Empire Children&#8217;s Choral Academy returned home with an invitation for the Highlands Youth Ensemble to compete in the prestigious 20th International Chamber Choir competition in Hungary.

&#8220;When they told us about the competition we could enter,&#8221; McCoy said, &#8220;they asked if it could be a partnership, that we could go there and they could come here.&#8221;

So a 14-member contingent of the Highlands Youth Ensemble traveled to Hungary in May 2007. They entered but did not win the competition.

Event To Feature Ghost Walk Tours, Music, Much More


GRAHAMS FORGE, Va. &#8211; It&#8217;s the music &#8211; all kinds of music &#8211; that sets the stage for the magic of GrahamFest.

This newly-born festival, nestled on the fields of a Wythe County farm, grew from a gathering of friends a few years ago that simply liked to jam with musician and real estate developer Josiah Cephas &#8220;J.C.&#8221; Weaver.

A part-time resident of Dunedin, Fla., Weaver once sought a big-time recording career. He was going to be a country star &#8211; maybe a rock star, too. He wrote such songs as &#8220;Salute the Boys of Vietnam&#8221; and &#8220;America, God&#8217;s People Love You.&#8221;

Residents of Coeburn are getting ready to have fun on the arched bridges spanning the banks of Little Tom&#8217;s Creek. There, the annual Guest River Rally runs today through Sept. 1. 

Festivals, celebrations and concerts are also getting under way from Breaks Interstate Park to the hills of Hillsville.

Rita Coolidge thrived amid the mix.

We&#8217;ve seen them before: cream-colored moths with dark outlines and the shape of what we thought was a dagger in the center of the folded wings. The underwings are a yellowish orange with a dark spot, and when the wings are completely open, the effect of the pattern is lost.&nbsp;

Tradition matters. Yet if left untended, even the most cherished of traditions can whither and die as time passes by.

Enter the Appalachian Folk Arts Festival. Scheduled for Aug. 23 at Southwest Virginia Museum in Big Stone Gap, Va., the festival will feature a number of demonstrations of long-practiced Appalachian traditions such as basket making, quilting and beekeeping.

Welcome, race fans. Come along for a look at the region&#8217;s other calling card, music. 

Entertainment does not pause while NASCAR&#8217;s rockets cool their jets between races. Try music. 

Bristol gifted the world with what has become known as the Bristol Sessions, 1927 recording sessions that spawned the start of the seminal careers of Jimmie Rodgers and Hiltons, Va.&#8217;s Carter Family. Blues legend Brownie McGhee grew up in Kingsport, Tenn. There&#8217;s much more, but you get the idea.

Now, get the music.

          <description><![CDATA[
Time marches on. Nearly 20 years have marched on since Tracy Lawrence hit number one with his first single, &#8220;Sticks and Stones&#8221; in 1991. Several major record labels have come and gone. Hits came and hits went. Personal stability, it&#8217;s his. Kids, he has two. So when Lawrence opens the Appalachian Fair in Gray, Tenn., on Aug. 18 bear in mind that life as he knew it in &#8217;91 sure is different than life as he knows it now.

LARRY GATLIN

Larry Gatlin struck gold when &#8220;All the Gold in California&#8221; hit huge in 1979.

Hear Gatlin and his brothers on Aug. 1 when they bring all the gold to Greeneville&#8217;s Niswonger Performing Arts Center. With more hits than stars in the sky, the Gatlins nowadays mix gospel with their country.

But they pack the hits, too. Remember 1975&#8217;s &#8220;Broken Lady&#8221;? How about &#8220;Love is Just A Game&#8221;? The Texan trio will most likely sing those and most of their two dozen or so hits when they grab their gold records off the wall, load up the bus and bring them to Greeneville.

Curly Seckler To Perform During 34th Annual Event


MACES SPRING, Va. &#8211; Curly Seckler surely sounded excited.

The bluegrass musician, at age 88, recalled the memory of when he was last on stage at the Carter Fold in Maces Spring, Va., near Hiltons.

&#8220;I have not played there since 1987,&#8221; Seckler said during a brief Monday telephone interview from his home in Hendersonville, Tenn.

&#8220;I&#8217;m tickled to death to come back up that way,&#8221; Seckler said. &#8220;I used to work that every year, up every October.&#8221;

However, for the past few years, Seckler has been semi-retired, no longer roaming the road regularly from gig to gig. Even so, he claims to be the oldest, active, nationally-known bluegrass musician.

Scat Cats, Wells Brothers To Perform Together 


BRISTOL, Tenn. &#8211; Two bands with two sounds from one family. 

For three decades or so, Kingsport&#8217;s Scat Cats and Bluff City&#8217;s Wells Brothers went their own merry individual ways. But now blood and consequence binds the bands.

When folks turn out to hear the Scat Cats on Aug. 2 at the Paramount Center for the Arts in Bristol, Tenn., they will also hear the Wells Brothers. 

But not separately. 

Presented by Unity in Community, a Bristol, Tenn.-based organization devised to strengthen bonds among the region&#8217;s varying races and religions, the show will feature the Scat Cats in tandem with the Wells Brothers.
