It most certainly is American roots music and it is music born of the black and mixed race French speaking Creoles of South Louisiana. It’s exhilarating and as complex and diverse as the Creoles. It’s also more than just one rhythm and one tempo.  Sure it’s about dancing; “less dancing please”\, said no-one ever! But\, it’s also about grooving in place and dancing freely. It’s definitely about the vocal performance as well. Terrance’s lead vocals and the stunning three part harmonies of he\, Danny and Stan – are proof positive that vocal performances matter – a lot! Zydeco is dynamic and evolving – remaining relevant to allow its artists to express themselves within their genre without constraints. \nWebsite URL:https://blowingrock.com/event/terrance-simien-and-the-zydeco-experience-at-the-app-theatre/ LOCATION:Appalachian Theatre of the High Country\, 559 West King Street\, Boone\, NC\, 28607\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts,Educational,Girls Getaways,MAIN CALENDAR,Music,Romantic Getaways,Winter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://blowingrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Terrance-Simien-photo-credit-James-Dean.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20240223T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20240224T230000 DTSTAMP:20250628T021038 CREATED:20240104T184610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240104T184610Z UID:10001869-1708718400-1708815600@blowingrock.com SUMMARY:BooneDocs Film Festival at The App Theatre DESCRIPTION:All Ages (children under age of 17 must be accompanied by parent/legal guardian)\nGeneral Admission (non-reserved) Seating \nThe 3rd Annual BooneDocs Film Fest presents a series of short form documentary films that share and celebrate life in Appalachia.

His love of music came immediately\, encouraged by his parents’ record collection and\, particularly\, by his father Charlie\, a fiddler\, who organized local jams. Charlie envisioned his son someday a staff fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry\, but a clear day’s signal from Nashville brought to Bush’s television screen a tow-headed boy named Ricky Skaggs playing mandolin with Flatt and Scruggs\, and an epiphany for Bush. At 11\, he purchased his first mandolin. \n As a teen fiddler Bush was a three-time national champion in the junior division of the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest. He recorded an instrumental album\, Poor Richard’s Almanac as a high school senior and in the spring of 1970 attended the Fiddlers Convention in Union Grove\, NC. There he heard the New Deal String Band\, taking notice of their rock-inspired brand of progressive bluegrass. \nWebsite URL:https://blowingrock.com/event/sam-bush-at-the-app-theatre/ LOCATION:Appalachian Theatre of the High Country\, 559 West King Street\, Boone\, NC\, 28607\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts,Girls Getaways,MAIN CALENDAR,Music,Romantic Getaways,Winter ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://blowingrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Thumbnails400×300px52.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20240311T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20240311T180000 DTSTAMP:20250628T021038 CREATED:20240306T140034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240306T140034Z UID:10001993-1710176400-1710180000@blowingrock.com SUMMARY:Town Birthday Party DESCRIPTION:Head over to the American Legion and celebrate Blowing Rock’s 135th birthday!
