The Birthplace of Country Music Museum is hosting an evening of wonderful music at our “Nest of Singing Birds” Ballad Swap concert on Saturday, November 8 at 7 p.m. Led by eighth-generation ballad singer Donna Ray Norton and featuring Sheila Kay Adams, Leila Weinstein, Songbird Burkey, and Darci DeWulf, the Nest of Singing Birds celebrates Appalachian heritage and shares a glimpse into an age-old practice, bringing together singers from across the region to share stories and songs passed down through generations.
Though Halloween will have come and gone the week before, the Nest of Singing Birds is keeping the spooky season alive on November 8. The singers will share haunting murder ballads, eerie tales, and ghostly stories that have been passed down via family and community members over the years. All songs that echo with themes of love, tragedy, betrayal, and the supernatural! These timeless ballads fit perfectly with the lingering chill of autumn, offering audiences a chance to revel in the darker side of Appalachian storytelling just a little longer. |
