You may also tune in to the program on the air at 100.1 FM in the Bristol area or online at ListenRadioBristol.org. \nAbout The  Legendary Ingramettes \nSix decades of music\, sixty-five years of song\, generations tied together through the force of will of a matriarchy of powerful women. This is the story of African-American gospel quintet The Legendary Ingramettes\, founded by Maggie Ingram (who passed away in 2015) as a way to keep her family together through hardship\, and taken up by her daughter Almeta Ingram-Miller as a way to continue Maggie’s legacy. Inspired by the black gospel male quartets of the 1940s and 50s\, The Legendary Ingramettes bring roof-raising harmonies and explosively powerful vocals\, all driven by the voices of women. Based for many years out of Richmond\, Virginia\, they were led by the indomitable will of the woman they all called “Mama\,” but now that Mama is gone\, Take A Look In The Book is the group’s first efforts with Almeta at the head. The album showcases Almeta’s bold new vision and towering vocal abilities\, drawing songs from new Appalachian sources like Ola Belle Reed and Bill Withers\, and reworking family favorites\, some of which date back to old spirituals. Produced by state folklorist Jon Lohman as part of the Virginia Folklife Program at Virginia Humanities\, Take A Look in the Book was recorded over just three days in Richmond\, with most songs being cut in one take to keep the power of the group’s incendiary live performances. A live show from The Legendary Ingramettes is a house-rocking affair\, with audiences literally getting whipped to a gospel fervor\, and the recording seeks to capture the electrifying nature of the group’s performances. \nAbout The Local Honeys \nThe Local Honeys are from some of the oldest mountains in the world. They fish because it’s good eating\, they tell stories worth telling\, and they play old-time music because that’s just music. They are a Kentucky duo\, names Montana and Linda Jean\, and they’re here to talk about suffering. \nThese are voices that still call horses home and rain pretty in the hollers\, because their roots in American traditional music are authentic. Influences of the old world ballad and natural awe push their music\, but their style is distinct and unforgettable. The Local Honeys write music for people who need it. Theirs is the ancient spirit\, most at home in the verdure and heartbreaking conceits. At the core of this music\, promises renew\, and without a filter\, rural America survives. But make no mistake\, the Local Honeys are here to talk about suffering. \nFor they will help you get through. It’s what they’ve always done. Their debut album\, Little Girls Acting Like Men\, propelled them on tours through the United States and Europe with Colter Wall. Soon\, they found themselves focal points of traditional music festivals\, becoming a headline draw throughout the UK almost instantly. \nSince then their specific sound of Appalachian music has grown\, along with a fan base of music enthusiasts and proactive culture. A tour with Tyler Childers in early 2020 was followed up by a fun\, yet controversial album The Gospel. With two records at their back\, The Local Honeys set a standard for the preservation of old-time\, hillbilly music\, and the contemporary influences that inspire their songwriting. The Local Honeys have true charisma\, and on stage\, there’s no doubt they are headline artists. \nAs buzz continues to build for The Local Honeys\, despite a pandemic-deadened 2020 tour schedule that included shows at the biggest folk festivals around\, they signed with songwriter haven\, La Honda Records\, home to country & Western heavy hitters Vincent Neil Emerson and Colter Wall. A recent summer show with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts highlighted continued focus and output\, including new songs from the two women. \nIf there’s any doubt\, there won’t be for long. When they sing their songs\, play their banjo\, their fiddle\, those guitars and boxes\, the rhythms in their toes\, you will know The Local Honeys are from Kentucky. Their names are Montana and Linda Jean\, and they’re here to talk about suffering. They are here to get you through this. \n  URL:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/event/farm-and-fun-time-ft-the-legendary-ingramettes-the-local-honeys/ CATEGORIES:Farm & Fun Time,Radio Bristol ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://birthplaceofcountrymusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2022_BCM_FFT_Feb-Web.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
