This time, the featured performer was Nicholas Jamerson, a Kentucky-born singer-songwriter whose work combines “folk storytelling” and “backroads country ramble,” according to the museum.
Jameson and his band presented a program of songs he had written, taken from his new studio record, “The Narrow Way,” a museum brochure about the event said.
Opening the evening’s schedule of music on the stage behind the museum’s main building was Sleepy Eyed John’s String Band.
Hundreds of people were on hand to hear the music and check out museum exhibits set up for the event, with most people sitting on the grass in their own lawn chairs, or on blankets spread out on the ground.
Amelia Galvas was there to demonstrate broom making, April Griffie was showing embroidering technique, Tina Job and Karin Foust were demonstrating spinning, and Dorothy McMillan was showing how to make corn-husk dolls.
Yee-Haw Brewing Company provided beer, while Southern Sips served frozen treats, and the museum’s restaurant offered food and drinks.
The Museum of Appalachia is on Andersonville Highway in Norris.
