Abstract

American Folklore Society Professional Development funds enabled me to attend the 25th Appalachian String Band Festival (aka “Clifftop”) held July 30 – Aug. 4, 2014 at Camp Washington Carver, West Virginia. One of the biggest festivals to focus strictly on Appalachian old-­‐time music (i.e. no bluegrass, which is a post-­‐World War II style), Clifftop features a strong contest component as well as workshops, concerts, dances and jam sessions.
