Blue Ridge Music Trails

Blue Ridge Music Trails Your guide to the traditional music of the North Carolina mountains and foothills.
(1)

The Blue Ridge Music Trails is your guide to finding great musical experiences in the mountains and foothills of North Carolina. As you explore the Music Trails, be sure to pick up a copy of the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina guidebook which makes a great travel companion, souvenir, or gift. Traditional music is flourishing across many parts of America, but in the mountains and foothills of North Carolina, more so than elsewhere, the music is part of the fabric of community life.

TONIGHT! Don't miss the premiere of Ten to Try: By Way of the Blue Ridge at 8 pm eastern on PBS NC.
From traditional music along the Parkway to Cherokee art, from apple picking in orchards and fishing in our rivers--there is something for everyone along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Watch this inspiring show on PBS NC, the PBS app, and on PBS NC's Youtube channel.
We're so happy to have worked with the team at PBS North Carolina and have the support from Dogwood Health Trust for this project.
