Appalachian Still will perform Friday night 2/16 at Northampton’s Parlor Room which in many ways has become the band’s home. Jared Libby, as sound engineer, is a staple of the venue over many years. Members of the band routinely show up for concerts in the area as friends and music enthusiasts. Friday night will be their night to be the focus. NineVoltHeart got a fabulous preview of that when three members of the band joined me in-studio; Jared Libby on guitar and vocals, Andrew Woodland on banjo and vocals along with Derrick Bove on bass and vocals.

The band opened our segment with their version of Steve Earle’s “Hillbilly Highway” live in NineVoltHeart studio. Throughout the segment we played from Appalachian Still’s records, “Feelin’ Alive” and “Live From the Parlor Room” to augment the live cuts. The band gave us their cover of The Devil Makes Three’s “Old #7”, “Hangman’s Reel” along with originals “Straight On to Morning”, fiddle bonanza “Cross Bow” , “Ain’t No Use in Trying Anymore” and we finished with their take on “I’m Coming Back, Just Don’t Know When”.

Throughout our hour segment, the band chats about their musical journey, their creative process, and their dislike for social media /website updates! Since 2005, Appalachian Still has been entertaining audiences which is their very favorite part of the experience. It will be yours too. See you on Masonic Street Friday night.
