Root 2 Music at Humpback Rocks
Milepost Music presents Root 2 Music
Sunday, June 2, 2-4 p.m.
Humpback Rocks
Root 2 Music is the musical intersection of deep South country-blues and Celtic/Appalachian fiddle music. David Frank (guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Nancy Reid (fiddle, vocals) perform traditional and original blues with a distinctive Appalachian flavor.
When David moved up to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia where the sounds of Nancy’s fiddle had echoed for years, this duo formed a musical partnership that blends downhome slide and traditional fiddle. Nancy has studied with Celtic fiddlers Ben Lennon and Liz Carroll. David started playing slide guitar because the strings were too hard to mash down on his old Kay guitar with a warped neck. What resulted is a unique blend of two musical roots.
