Midday Mountain Music with Bill Mansfield
Saturday, September 14
12-3 p.m. | Covered Breezeway at Blue Ridge Music Center
Admission Free

Born and raised in Raleigh, N.C., Bill Mansfield began playing music at age eleven when his mother showed him how to play the “juice harp.” He then went on to play harmonica and banjo. In 1979 Mansfield was awarded a National Endowment for the Art grant to study banjo under renowned folk artist and traditional banjoist, Fred Cockerham.

In 1987 he released the recording Root Hog or Die on the Flying Cloud label with a mix-and-match array of sidemen and musical pals including Riley Baugus, Kirk Sutphin, Andy Cahan and many others.

After several years in Washington D.C., he has returned to the Carolina Piedmont and is ready to entertain you with his stories, songs, and tunes.
