The Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina project highlights the musical heritage of the mountains and foothills of Western North Carolina. The trail region includes 29 North Carolina counties—25 of which were designated the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area by Congress and President of the United States in 2003 in recognition of their unique character, culture, natural beauty, and significance to the history of the nation.

BRMT sites feature traditional North Carolina mountain music and dance. This encompasses many kinds of music traditions, including bluegrass, old-time, blues, early country, gospel, ballad singing, and shaped-note singing, Cherokee music and dance, and such heritage dance styles as clogging and square dancing.

Visitors can explore the trail using the book, Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina: A Guide to Music Sites, Artists, and Traditions of the Mountains and Foothills, or the informative website.
