Hello lovely people,

I am so so honored to share this episode of Appalachian Vibes. This week my guest is Robin Landsong,  a medicine singer with an incredible  story of how she became the trauma healer she is today.

In 1977, an 8 year old Robin was walking home from school on the last day of the school year when she was kidnapped from her Virginia neighborhood, drugged and trafficked to Africa. Over the next three months she suffered immeasurable violence that lead to young Robin facing two near death experiences, remarkably, she also found the first true home and family within the rural Zimbabwean women who sang her back to life. This is her story.

Robin is giving Appalachian vibes listeners a free gift, the link is listed below! Thank you Robin! The live class is April 23 2022, but you can sign up and watch the recorded stream.

Hello Lovely people,

This week my guest is Robin Landsong, a Medicine Singer with the harrowing story of how she came to embody this gift. In 1977 Robin was 8 years old when she was abducted walking home from school in a Virginia suburb. She was quickly trafficked to Africa during the height of the Rhodesian War where Robin experienced brutality and violence resulting in two Near- Death Experiences. As she was called back to life by the Medicine Song of a rural Zimbabwean woman, it opened her own Medicine Songs, as an adult, she has given Singing Medicine to over 14,000 people. 

learn more about Robin Landsong at https://robinlandsong.com/ and tune in the Saturday April 16th at  6AM on WNCW to learn how Robin's story unfolds during those three months she spent in Africa.

Good morning lovely people, 

This week on Appalachian Vibes I chat with the founder of Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band, John Paul Miller, a half columbian guitarist whose mother first exposed him to the instrument as a small child by singing and playing to him on a classical guitar. Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band is a sexy funk band from Asheville, NC with 20 years in the industry. John Paul tells the tales of his years of traveling with the band and abroad. Bootyband.com

Will Henson reads his short story non fiction piece, Cellphone.  A Bukowski-esque glimpse into the mind of one Appalachian writer and musician. Will Henson's song, Whiskey Jesus plays at the end of his piece. Find Will Henson on Facebook. 

I've shared the next story several times, mainly because it gives me chills every time I listen to the story of the Selkie from Violet Bell. The last story is a beautiful, heart breaking story of the Selkie, a creature of folklore from around the word.  The members of the Americana folk duo tell their rendition and share their recording, Back to the Sea.  Violetbell.net

Everyone have a beautiful week,

Amanda

Hello lovely people,

This is the first full hour episode of Appalachian Vibes on our new home WNCW! My guests this week are: Casey Noel, A Jordan and The Resonant Rogues.

Casey Noel, the Costa Rican American roots, singer-songwriter and ex-professional ballroom dancer from Greensboro, NC. She reveals her latest single, "Playing God" a chilling song about the 17th century serial killer who claimed the lives of over 600 men in Italy with an undetectable poison she called Aqua Tofana. Casey also talks about the similarity between her latin heritage and the hard working Americans that make up Appalachia and our songs, which she notes, are also her songs. She feels deeply attracted to the genre and feels embedded with the culture.  Casey spills the tea in a song she wrote called "Pretty Words" about her ex, a would-be future Bachelorette contestant. You can check out Casey's single https://caseynoelmusic.com/

A. Jordan shares their story, Redbud. An incredible short story about the life of an aging alcoholic father reflecting on his involvement, and lack there of, in his children's lives. 
 
The Resonant Rogues, are a swing-old time inspired, Americana, married duo from Asheville, NC who have the interesting history of train hopping in common. We talk about their train hopping stories and near misses with the police. A love born out similarities and their passion for music. 

Appalachian Vibes airs on WNCW in North Carolina every Saturday morning at 6AM. Wake up with Appalachian Vibes.

Appalachian Vibes makes a triumphant return on our new home station-WNCW. WNCW stands for Western North Carolina's Window and serves Western North Carolina, Charlotte, and Greenville, South Carolina.  I am honored and excited for Appalachian Vibes to have a home on a station that is deeply devoted to their listeners, community and musicians. 

You can hear an Appalachian Vibes mini episode every other Tuesday on WNCW's Morning Edition at 7:51 am. The next air date for an App Vibes Mini is April 12 2022. The full hour long episodes of Appalachian Vibes begin airing Saturdays, on April 2 2022 at 6am-set your alarms to wake up with Appalachian Vibes. 

This Mini episode originally aired March 3 2022 featuring Resonant Rogues:
"The Resonant Rogues’ dark Appalachian folk paints a picture of their lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina and on the road. Anchored by the songwriting duo of Sparrow (banjo, accordion) and Keith Smith (guitar), the duo has traveled the byways and highways of America and crossed the oceans with instruments in tow. From riding freight trains to building their own homestead, the pair are no strangers to blazing unconventional trails. At once rooted and adventurous, each song tells a story of real experiences, friendships, and challenges." from their website https://theresonantrogues.com/

We discuss their lives as train hoppers and the true romance that blossomed from their need to create art. Armed wit a banjo and guitar, that's exactly what they do every time Sparrow opens her mouth to sing. 

Their full episode is set to air April 2 at 6am on WNCW.
