The Traditional Music Program brings traditional Appalachian music into the daily lives of people by helping communities build and sustain ongoing events such as jam sessions, square dances and storytelling events. Appalshop is proud to be a part of Central Appalachia’s living traditions through its work with the Carcassonne Square Dance—one of the oldest continuing square dances in the country! From October to May Appalshop’s Old Time Jam takes place at 1:00 PM on the first Saturday of each month.
