"A Celebration of Mountain Traditions" - Join us at 7pm on Saturday, March 20 at the historic Colonial Theatre in downtown Canton for "A Celebration of Mountain Traditions", and evening of fun and fund raising for our beloved mountain tradition, Shindig on the Green.

Hosted by Masters of Ceremony, Glenn Bannerman and John Roten, the concert features Balsam Range, Laura Boosinger and Bobby Hicks, and the Cole Mountain Cloggers.

Scheduled for March 27, 2010 at The Paramount Center for the Arts, this concert features Riders in the Sky. For thirty years, Riders in the Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre.   While remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit.  Riders in the Sky have won two Grammy Awards.  In addition to the performance, an hour-long presentation on the singing cowboy will provide an insight into American history, popular culture, musicology, and folklore in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.

Set for February 13, 2010  at The Paramount Center for the Arts, this concert features three members of the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance’s artistic council.  Jett is a third generation member of the legendary Carter Family, the son of Janette Carter and grandson of A.P. and Sara Carter.  His dedication to the preservation of traditional music, the love of Carter Family songs, and his admiration of other songwriters are evident in his performances.  Roni Stoneman, dubbed "the first lady of the banjo,” may be best known for her role as Ida Lee, the gap-toothed, banjo-playing lady from "Hee Haw." But she's also a fine musician and the current custodian of the musical heritage of her father, Ernest V.
