Step into the rich storytelling tradition of women and Appalachian Old-Time music with Suzanne Diprose of Oh Suzannah.

Through four powerful songs Suzanne explores the lives, struggles, resilience, and voices of Appalachian women whose stories have been carried through generations of song. Discover the fascinating histories behind the music — from textile workers and mountain communities to pioneering songwriters Hedy West, Ola Belle Reed and Hazel Dickens.

The workshop features live performance, historical storytelling, the stories behind the songs and celebration of women’s voices in Old-Time music.

It will be an inspiring journey through the songs that preserved the experiences of ordinary women and shaped the traditions we continue to enjoy today. All welcome — no musical experience required.
