Abstract:

North Carolina’s musicians who play a modern version of traditional music are top sellers nationwide this year. The music’s timeless quality and enduring appeal is a reminder to listeners of their personal connections with music. This music connects families and multiple generations and the universities in the state frequently fund study of folk and bluegrass music. Finally, the state’s reputation for producing quality traditional music and the high likelihood that it will be heard anywhere people go contributes to the music’s recent and lasting success.
