Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mtn Boys
December 10, 2010 | 7:30pm
Ralph Stanley’s voice is not of this century, nor of the last one, for that matter. Its stark emotional urgency is rooted in a darker time, when pain was the common coin of life and the world offered sinful humanity no hope of refuge. Preserved in the cultural amber of remote Appalachia, this terse, forlorn sound is the bedrock of Stanley’s inimitable style. But don’t mistake an ancient voice for ancient ways. Stanley tours and performs with the vigor and elan of a rock star. Don’t miss your chance to experience National Medal of the Arts recipient, Dr. Ralph Stanley up close and personal.
