Audible5AmandaUnited States3 years ago - Music history at its finest
North Carolina has spawned many influential musicians and musical styles. This podcast digs deep on the sounds, the places, and the artists that originated in NC, but have influenced the entire world. Host David Menconi knows his stuff having literally written the book on the history of North Carolina music. In these episodes he interviews historians, musicians, and those in the know. A very enjoyable listen for fans of music, history, and especially North Carolina.
