The Opera House Story Sessions

Carried on the transcendent tones of fiddle and banjo, this podcast blends music and storytelling to showcase the artists preserving central Appalachia’s musical history. Come along as we hear about the first families of old-time and bluegrass, the 1970’s festival scene, and pickin’ parties where classic tunes are passed down.

Starting in 2020, when the Pocahontas County Opera House couldn’t have live concerts because of the pandemic, we individually hosted local musical legends to share songs and stories in our beautiful, empty opera house. This podcast is the result of those story sessions.
