• Plus… LIVE MUSIC by Rhiannon & The Relics
Child prodigies add novelty to most musical performances. But it’s even more awe-inspiring to see a recently minted human play traditional music as old as the Appalachian towns from whence it came. At age 16, (she began playing at 6) Rhiannon Ramsey is doing just that — fiddling alongside local string band veterans who make up the Relics: Craig Bannerman (bass), Troy Harrison (banjo, guitar, mandolin, vocals), Scott Owenby (guitar, vocals), Brandon Johnson (mandolin, vocals). Her musicianship and comfort onstage, however, convey anything but newness. Instead, the Arvil Freeman protégé and her bandmates settle into their mountain-made tunes with ease. Rhiannon recently started a new chapter in her fiddling endeavors, replacing Arvil Freeman as the fiddler for the Stoney Creek Boys, the house band for Shindig on the Green, the Friday night barn dances in Montreat. Rhiannon lives on her family farm in Madison Co., NC.
