Hello lovely people,

This is the first full hour episode of Appalachian Vibes on our new home WNCW! My guests this week are: Casey Noel, A Jordan and The Resonant Rogues.

Casey Noel, the Costa Rican American roots, singer-songwriter and ex-professional ballroom dancer from Greensboro, NC. She reveals her latest single, “Playing God” a chilling song about the 17th century serial killer who claimed the lives of over 600 men in Italy with an undetectable poison she called Aqua Tofana. Casey also talks about the similarity between her latin heritage and the hard working Americans that make up Appalachia and our songs, which she notes, are also her songs. She feels deeply attracted to the genre and feels embedded with the culture.  Casey spills the tea in a song she wrote called “Pretty Words” about her ex, a would-be future Bachelorette contestant. You can check out Casey's single https://caseynoelmusic.com/

A. Jordan shares their story, Redbud. An incredible short story about the life of an aging alcoholic father reflecting on his involvement, and lack there of, in his children's lives. 
 
The Resonant Rogues, are a swing-old time inspired, Americana, married duo from Asheville, NC who have the interesting history of train hopping in common. We talk about their train hopping stories and near misses with the police. A love born out similarities and their passion for music. 

Appalachian Vibes airs on WNCW in North Carolina every Saturday morning at 6AM. Wake up with Appalachian Vibes.
