On Saturday, February 15th at 4 PM, Carmichael's welcomes J.D. Wilkes for a discussion of his new book "Barn Dances and Jamborees Across Kentucky." Kentuckians have been wearing out shoe leather at informal jamborees since the state was settled over two hundred years ago. Tadpole's Dew Drop Inn played host to some fifteen hundred musical shindigs in its time as a mecca of Marshall County music. A Rosine barn dance gave bluegrass founder Bill Monroe his start, and another fosters new musical talent at its weekly get-togethers. Clawhammer banjo players, Appalachian cloggers and square dance callers from Possum Trot to Rabbit Hash celebrate the unique musical culture of Kentucky. Please join us as we welcome Grammy-nominated soundtrack artist J.D. Wilkes to Carmichael's!
