Pedi and Greene will get the music started on Dec. 6 with a concert beginning at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of WCU’s Mountain Heritage Center. Performers of old-time and bluegrass music are invited to bring their instruments and take part in the jam session that will follow their presentation.
Pedi and Greene have performed together for many years. A Marshall resident, Pedi is widely known for his arrangements of old fiddle tunes for the mountain dulcimer, while Greene, a Celo resident, is often recognized for his performances of the old-time fiddle music of Kentucky.
The Mountain Heritage Center’s “Winter Gatherings” will continue through March, with events on the first Thursday of each month including a free concert by a local band, followed by a jam session, and gatherings on the third Thursday of each month consisting entirely of an open jam session. All the events are held from 7 to 9 p.m.
Other groups scheduled to present shows at the “Winter Gatherings” are the McDowell Family on Jan. 3, Chuck Norris and Daybreak on Feb. 7, and Charles Shuler and Friends on March 6. Other jam sessions are scheduled for Jan. 17, Feb. 21 and March 20.
The jam sessions are open to pickers and singers of all ages and experience levels, but also to those who just want to watch and listen.
The Mountain Heritage Center is located on the ground floor of WCU’s H.F. Robinson Administration Building. For more information, call the Mountain Heritage Center at (828) 227-7129.
