Alice Gerrard’s (@gerrardalice) the featured performer on this week’s SHAPED BY SOUND on PBS North Carolina (@mypbsnc). Living bearer of the old-time folk tradition, the Durham nonagenarian Alice Gerard made trailblazing duo LPs for Folkways with Hazel Dickens. Since, she’s worked tirelessly to keep vernacular music alive for younger generations as a performer, journalist, and social historian. Her episode airs on this Thursday, March 13th at 9:30, and will be available on the PBS app and on YouTube the same day. To get y’all ready for Thursday, we’ve provided a mix of our favorite Alice Gerard tracks – solo and with Hazel Dickens, Strange Creek Singers, and Tom, Brad & Alice. Listen now via the link in bio.
