Old Time Experience
​August 5-8, 2018

Is it the water flowing off the mountains?

The wind in the trees?

The birdsong at the edges of the day? 

The skilled, creative people?
 

If we followed the music back to the source, what would we find? The Appalachian mountains birthed a tradition of music that grows to this day and thrives in Pocahontas County, WV.

​Join us after the Appalachian String Band Festival at Clifftop, WV for three days of relaxation, inspiration, and pickin'! 

Your hosts, old time musicians, Mary Sue and Mike Burns, share their local knowledge of music and excursions to ensure an experience steeped in creative traditions and stunning landscapes.

​ Experience a place where the music grows!
