Description

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 29, Issue 02, published in 2014. The theme of this issue is Music in Appalachia. This issue reflects on the role music has in shaping personal identity, community life, and regional tradition. It brings together historical accounts and contemporary reflections that connect early folk practices, recorded sessions, and festival traditions with present day performance and reinterpretation. Attention is given to the movement of music between rural and urban spaces, the blending of influences across racial and cultural lines, and the persistence of locally rooted styles alongside global connections. Personal narratives emphasize music as a means of expression, memory, and connection, often tied to family, faith, and everyday experience. By presenting music as both a tradition and evolving practice, the issue captures its enduring place in Appalachian culture as a source of continuity, creativity, and shared meaning.
