Kentucky Music. Karly Dawn Higgins

Description

Rowan County's Karly Dawn Higgins made her start in traditional music with the all-female bluegrass band Hazel Holler. Shortly after she left the band she met a group of old-time musicians in Morehead, Kentucky, and formed the Clack Mountain String Band. The four piece group would go on to perform at national music festivals like MerleFest and Seedtime on the Cumberland as well as performances at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk and the Carter Fold. Higgins fronts her own country group, Karly Dawn and Kinfolk, and can often be seen performing with collaborator Sarah Wood as Karly Dawn and Little Sarie. This splendid performance features Higgins in rare form and is hosted by Jesse Wells of the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music at Morehead State University.
