Applachain Echoes The Bristol Sessions

“Tracing a lineage from 1930s moonshine ballads to 1950s fiddle dances and 1980s gospel sing-alongs, Appalachian Echoes blends archival artifacts with fresh originals. Hailing from Bristol, VA, Mia, Leah , and Ava revive three-part harmonies born on family porches and coal-camp floors. “Appalachian Echoes” honors three generations of mountain music, symbolizing how Mia, Leah, and Ava’s harmonies ripple through the Blue Ridge just like ancestral melodies carried on the wind.
Appalachian Echoes hail from Bristol, Tennessee–Virginia, universally recognized as country music’s birthplace after the landmark 1927 Bristol Sessions.Mia Johnson (26) lead vocals & acoustic guitar Leah Carter (28)fiddle, harmony vocals & Appalachian stomp Ava Thompson (30)banjo, dobro slides & three-part harmonies Each learned their craft from family legacies: Granny Thompson’s moonshine-camp ballads (1930s), Albert Carter’s coal-camp fiddle dances (1950s), and Edna Johnson’s church-choir gospel nights (1980s).
