It’s important to shine a light on the musical traditions associated with North Carolina. And one of the most entertaining and effective efforts in that regard is the public television series David Holt’s State of Music<\/i>. Launched in 2016, the program hosted by the four-time Grammy winner has welcomed a wide variety of music’s top artists to the program.<\/p>\n

Past guests \u2013 who perform with Holt on location rather than in a studio \u2013 include Rhiannon Giddens, Steep Canyon Rangers, St. John Unity Choir, Sam Bush, Molly Tuttle and many more. Holt says that the series \u201cgives me the chance to introduce phenomenal up and coming young acoustic musicians to a nationwide audience as well as featuring established icons and old friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Appalachian music-focused program is produced by Will and Deni McIntyre. \u201cWe’re seeing real talent in real locations,\u201d says Deni. And Holt is the perfect person to interview and play with these artists, says Will McIntyre. \u201cA lot of them were inspired by the same people who inspired David,\u201d he says. \u201cand some of the young people learned from or were influenced by David.\u201d The series’ fourth season \u2013 featuring guests Taj Mahal, Della Mae, Josh Goforth and more \u2013 premiered this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
