(VIRTUAL) Highlands Folk Project: Featuring Violet Hensley

December 29 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm CST

Program livestreamed at facebook.com/garlandcountylibrary and youtube.com/garlandcolibrary
Join Charlie Moore, founder of the Highlands Folk Project, as he takes you on a virtual tour of modern performers of old time traditional music. In this episode, Charlie will cover his recent adventure of music discovery across the Ouachita Mountains, and feature footage of his interview with 105-year-old Violet Hensley. Violet is a native of neighboring Montgomery County, and has lived an impressive life as a fiddle maker and musician, receiving the honor of 2004 Arkansas Living Treasure by the Arkansas Arts Council.

Traditional music is the foundation for country, gospel, country western, bluegrass, blues, and more. It was the music of the common man.
