Sunday July 11, 2010

4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Location: Cradle of Forestry

The Peg Twisters is an old-time string band that combines lovely three-part harmoney vocals with sizzling instrumentals. Band members have been competing and playing around western NC on a regular basis for the past few decades, even picking up first place in a fiddle contest. Roots run deep for this band, who attempt to play as many of the local festivals and fairs that they can during the year.

The Cradle of Forestry's Songcatchers Music Series honors traditional music and the talented performers who preserve it, share it, and make it their own. Enjoy songs from ancient Appalachian ballads to vintage melodies and fiddle tunes.

A 30 minute opening performance begins at 4:00 p.m. The main concert begins after a short break at approximately 4:45 p.m. Come early and enjoy the Cradle's two interpretive trails, exhbit hall and gift shop.

Concerts take place in the sunny outdoor amphitheatre at the beginning of the Forest Festival Trail. The amphitheatre and trails are wheelchair accessible. Picnics are welcome, as are chairs between rows of amphitheatre seating. If raining, concerts are moved inside and held in the Forest Discovery Center.
