Live! At the Library: The Creek Rocks Perform Old-Time Music from the Ozarks
The exciting old-time duo The Creek Rocks, the recipients of the 2024 Artists in Resonance Fellowship from the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, are bringing old songs back to the Library in shiny new arrangements! Their fellowship allowed them to learn songs from the Ozark field recordings of folklorist Sidney Robertson Cowell, and they’ll perform their arrangements at this concert.
