Celebrating the Music of A.P, Sara and Maybelle

Dedicated to The Music of Deep Appalachia

In 1928, at a Bristol recording sutdio, A.P, Sara and Maybelle Carter arrived, with just one cheap little Stella guitar, and a Sears autoharp, they changed music forever. With their innovative Carter Scratch, and their deep, soulful singing, combined with the quivering bass of A.P they were sure to shake the music industry, and soon--the world.
