Keep On The Sunny Side at the Carter Family Fold

April 26th & May 21st

Conceived and Written by Douglas Pote / Music and Lyrics by The Original Carter Family / Vocal Arrangements by Eugene Wolf / Musical Arrangement by Doug Dorschug

Come celebrate the original musical tale of America’s First Family of Country Music. When A.P. Carter convinces his wife Sara and his sister-in-law Maybelle to record with him at the Bristol Sessions, he has no idea he is about to change his life – and the world – forever. You’ll tap your toes to Carter Family favorites like Bury Me Under the Weeping Willow, Keep On the Sunnyside, Wildwood Flower, and Will the Circle Be Unbroken.

This play is a product of Barter's Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights.
