Description
Jett is a third generation member of the legendary Carter Family, the son of Janette Carter and grandson of A.P. and Sara Carter. His dedication to the preservation of traditional music, the love of Carter Family songs, and his admiration of other songwriters are evident in his performances. Roni Stoneman, dubbed "the first lady of the banjo,” may be best known for her role as Ida Lee, the gap-toothed, banjo-playing lady from "Hee Haw." But she's also a fine musician and the current custodian of the musical heritage of her father, Ernest V. "Pop" Stoneman, who had the first million-selling hit in country music with the song "The Sinking of the Titanic," and also had the first country music radio show. Darrell Scott is best known as a songwriter for Garth Brooks and as a sideman for singer/songwriters like Guy Clark and Tim O'Brien. Scott is a Grammy-nominated artist, an award-winning songwriter and a first-call session musician.
This show is a part of the Birthplace of Country Music @ The Paramount concert series presented by the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance.
