Appalachian Fire Bluegrass Band to perform in Bryson City

Written by 

Appalachian Fire Bluegrass Band of Flat Rock will perform a concert of classic bluegrass and gospel music at 3 p.m. Aug. 19 at Swain County Center for the Arts in Bryson City. Immediately following the one-hour concert, there will be a meet-and-greet reception for the band and the 38 artists who have artwork in the community exhibit that is currently on display at the Center for the Arts. Most of the artwork is priced to sell.

The band includes Dwayne “Doc” Durham (guitar, bass and vocals), Cliff Searcy (mandolin, dobro and vocals), Jim Fox (bass), Tim Francis (banjo and vocals), and Mike Williams (fiddle and harmonica). The band just released its second CD, “Ride This Train,” which was produced by Caleb Smith and Bill McDonald. It features some fiddle and vocal work by Buddy Melton of Balsam Range.

The Center for the Arts and Swain County schools-sponsored event is free and open to the public.

    Situated in the southeastern corner of Tennessee, the city of Chattanooga is a rapidly growing, bustling hub of culture and commerce in Southern Appalachia. Like Asheville, both cities went through hard times following the end of their manufacturing eras. Each became stagnant, searching for an identity that eventually evolved into prosperous havens for artists, musicians, chefs, craft brewers, etc.

    We have lots of bug barns in our house: from the old-fashioned Mason jar with holes punched in the lid to a new-fangled, plastic-domed “ladybug playground” with tiny slides and such.

     

    I wager in most families bug barns are relegated to the backyard. Ours, however, take up residence on the kitchen table, with up to four bug barns simultaneously occupied by caterpillars, ants, moths, beetles and even spiders.
