Appalachian Folk

Appalachian folk music is a distinctive genre characterized by its rustic, acoustic sound, often featuring banjo, fiddle, and guitar instrumentation. Emerging from the traditional music of the Appalachian region, this style evolved from Scottish, Irish, and English ballad singing, African-American blues and string band traditions. Popularized in the 1920s-1940s, Appalachian folk music thrived during the folk revival of the 1950s-1960s. Its cultural significance lies in its preservation of regional stories, myths, and customs, offering a window into the lives of Appalachian people. Notable for its modal melodies, driving rhythms, and heartfelt vocal styles, Appalachian folk music influenced bluegrass, country, and Americana genres, while maintaining its unique, raw, and emotive quality.
