Ralph Stanley
NPR?s Fresh Air has described Ralph Stanley as ?easily the most eminent bluegrass singer in the world? and Rolling Stone has celebrated the 85 year old Virginian as ?a master performer without an expiration date.?? This Friday, he will be joined by his band, the Clinch Mountain Boys, in Carrboro to kick off the 10th Annual American Roots Series at The ArtsCenter.
Recognized by his mournful ?Mountain Gospel Soul? Appalachian music, he received the first ever Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his unforgettable version of ?O Death? from the popular O Brother, Where Art Thou film and soundtrack.? Previous members of Ralph?s Clinch Mountain Boys include the notable Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley.? For over 60 years, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame member Ralph Stanley has influenced countless country, folk, and bluegrass artists with his clawhammer style of banjo picking and poignant mountain melodies.
Don?t miss the chance to see this living legend on Friday, January 4th at The ArtsCenter?s intimate venue.
