Miami Regionals Appalachian Studies Announces a Spring Program

Miami Regionals is excited to host The Beautiful Music All Around Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience on April 12 at  7:30 p.m. in Miami Hamilton’s Harry T. Wilks Conference Center.

Stephen Wade, a Grammy nominee and American folk musician and scholar, will explore the subjects of his award-winning book The Beautiful Music All Around Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience, featuring thirteen iconic folksong performances captured on Library of Congress field recordings between 1934 and 1942. In a compellingly narrated multimedia musical performance, Wade weaves the music together with its largely unknown yet surprisingly influential creators, one of them Pete Steele of Hamilton.

For more information call (513) 785-3277. Appalachian Studies programs are free and open to the public. Reception and book signing to follow.
