#AppalachianFolk showcases traditional culture, music, storytelling, craftsmanship, and community life from the Appalachian region. It celebrates heritage, folklore, rustic lifestyles, nature, mountain living, and artisanal skills, fostering connections and creativity.
If you’re hungry for songs where women triumph and get sh*t done, you should start your year with my course “Badass Women in Folk Song!” This is a 6 week experience that you can take virtually (with two different times to choose from) or locally if you’re in western NC! In our time together, we’ll learn a one-of-a-kind collection of ballads and songs about witches, warriors and triumphant women from Scotland, England and Appalachia, and strategies of resistance that these folk songs teach us. **I’ve also just added an additional experience for the course: We’ll have a special guest lecture about how women have used literature and plant metaphors to talk about their experiences of abortion and miscarriage, to parallel our studies of abortifacients and coded language in folk song.** With the dire political times we’re in, Badass Women is intended to be a balm to carry you through the winter. I’m offering this class at a big discount, so take advantage now! Virtual cohorts start on January 16th, and the in-person cohort starts on January 13th!

Do you know this Appalachian ballad, “West Virginia Mine Disaster,” by female folk legend Jean Ritchie? This song, inspired by the disastrous Farmington/Mannington Mine Disaster in West Virginia in 1968, is told from the perspective of a miner’s wife. We hear her perspective as she receives the news that her husband may be trapped in a mine accident. Her thoughts race as she thinks about the fate of her family. Songs like these by Appalachian women give an important perspective often missing from our labor histories. In my Badass Women in Folk Song course (starting this week) we’ll get to explore working women’s songs of protest- and so much more! This is a 6 week course exploring songs from Scotland, England and Ireland about women/femmes/non-binary and trans folks who use their intellect, magic work, strength and humor to triumph in the face of patriarchy. We have two online cohorts you can join- learn more by going to the link in my bio! #appalachiansong #jeanritchie #womenoffolk #unionpower #unionrights #unionproud #solidarity #laborrights #appalachianmusic #workersrights #fairwages #unionhistory #appalachianfolk #womenswisdom #matriarchy #hermusic #womeninmusic #womenempowerment #womenoffolk #womensstruggles #womensrights #abortionstories #womenshistory #feministhistory #reproductiverights #feministmusic #bard #folksongs #abortionrights
