The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum presents


BRAHM has so much to offer this month. First, A Cardboard History of Blue Ridge Music! The exhibition showcases 36 original, letterpress-style posters, dating back to as early as 1939 and are from the private poster collection of Tom Murphy. As a collector, Murphy has been preserving window cards, handbills, mailers, broadsides, and other posters of various genres for over 50 years. The show runs through April 26. More here!

On March 26th at 6 pm join Trevor McKenzie as he presents Blue Ridge Ballads Revisited. This revisitation of ballads from the Blue Ridge, stretching from the mid-18th century to the present, examines the histories behind these story songs and their continued relevance in the vast musical landscape of 21st century Appalachia.

And on April 3rd, at 6 pm catch Mothers of Mountain Music: The Blue Ridge and Beyond. Krystal Brooke Carter will let you know why women are key figures in the history of Appalachia and its music. From the mothers of miners, pioneering women of bluegrass, and activists, the songs of women have long endured.
