Carter. Ray Kamalay covers the rhythm on guitar. He is a long-time
professional musician who has shared the stage with many great
performers, including Doc Watson and Jethro Burns. Fiddler and

for decades. The Louie Bluie Festival is our partner in producing this
concert in the venue where Ralphe’s father Howard performed in
2000, an event featured in the documentary Sweet Old Song.

and the Little Red Band
Friday, October 7, 8 p.m.
Just back from Bolivia and Argentina, Jack
will be highlighting songs written in south
Knoxville, in particular tunes penned
in his home base of Vestal—songs that
draw upon workers’ history and agrarian
folkways, and current struggles for
dignity and justice. Primarily performing
original material that has been shaped
by working class struggles for justice
and land-based hill culture, Jack and
his comrades carry forth the legacy of Woody Guthrie and Sarah
Ogun Gunning, Leadbelly and Don West, Hazel Dickens and Dorsey
Dixon. Jack is joined by Shannon Williams (piano), Knoxvillian/guitarist
Samuel Harding, and Morgan County native Tres Daugherte (organ,
accordion).

English at Middle Tennessee State University, whose popular and
academic works on Tennessee and Southern folk culture and popular
music made him one of the most recognizable figures in Tennessee
Folklore. While not specifically an academic journal, leading scholars
of folklore have published in the Bulletin including Archer Taylor,
Henry Glassie, Stith Thompson, Archie Green, Wayland Hand, D.K.
Wilgus, Herbert Halpert, and Alan Dundes. Articles from the Bulletin
