Laura Boosinger will perform at 4 p.m. on July 22 at the Cradle of Forestry amphitheater as part of the 2012 Songcatchers Music Series.

Boosinger’s primary focus is the interpretation of traditional music from the southern mountains. She plays old-time banjo, guitar, dulcimer and finger-style autoharp. Local old-time music quartet, the East Fork Gals, will welcome attendees to the July 22 concert with a performance of fiddle tunes and songs.

The series, now in its ninth year, features performances of traditional mountain music every Sunday in July beginning at 4 p.m. Attendees are invited to bring picnics, chairs and blankets.
