Hear Our Stories: 

The East Tennesseean dialect is unique in its own way, some say it is of an era gone by, with a little "Elizabethan English" mingled in. Outsiders listen to it in amazement! On this page we try to preserve its solemn tone of words and song. 

Hear Our Music

The Music of East Tennessee is in the heart of and sole of each man, woman and child. It rolls through our mountains and valleys on winds of days gone by.....

The Early Settlers of the "First Frontier" faced an ongoing battle of both the land as well as those who had been apart of the land. These pages are an attempt to preserve the stories that are quickly passing away from our heritage.
