Good morning lovely people,
This week on Appalachian Vibes I chat with the founder of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, John Paul Miller, a half columbian guitarist whose mother first exposed him to the instrument as a small child by singing and playing to him on a classical guitar. Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band is a sexy funk band from Asheville, NC with 20 years in the industry. John Paul tells the tales of his years of traveling with the band and abroad. Bootyband.com
Will Henson reads his short story non fiction piece, Cellphone. A Bukowski-esque glimpse into the mind of one Appalachian writer and musician. Will Henson's song, Whiskey Jesus plays at the end of his piece. Find Will Henson on Facebook.
I've shared the next story several times, mainly because it gives me chills every time I listen to the story of the Selkie from Violet Bell. The last story is a beautiful, heart breaking story of the Selkie, a creature of folklore from around the word. The members of the Americana folk duo tell their rendition and share their recording, Back to the Sea. Violetbell.net
Everyone have a beautiful week,
Amanda
