Grab your best bandana, get out that rhinestone cowboy hat, and join us for the Ghosts of Appalachia tour! Bonnie & the Mere Mortals, Amy Martin, and Matt Elias are the next generation of artists taking Appalachia to the world stage. While America may use Appalachians as an example of a lack of diversity and new ideas, we know better, and we're bringing the best the hills & hollers have to offer to the world at large. Ghosts of Appalachia is a tour showcasing what's new and transforming Americana. These three artists are taking their upbringing and experiences from throughout Appalachia and bringing them to the places they love. Come dance and cry to new and original bops and sing along to highly imaginative reworked classics from legends like Linda Perry all the way to the Cure. Bringing stories of queerness, love and loss, addiction, escape, and homecoming... with a few murder ballads thrown in for fun, the Ghosts of Appalachia tour promises to be an event you don't want to miss. Originally from Harrisonburg, Virginia, Amy Martin spent the majority of her adult life in her beloved hometown. On her recently released album, “Travelin’ On”, Martin explores the breaking point between investing in a problematic, yet beloved place, and moving on to fully realize one’s self and one’s dreams.
