Travis Stuart
A Bethel native and Haywood County resident, Travis Stuart is a banjo player who has been performing old time music rooted in Western North Carolina for over thirty years. The backbone of bluegrass, old time string band music carries a legacy that is inescapable, and from his earliest days growing up, Stuart was steeped in that legacy. Playing his great-uncle Austin Stamley’s banjo, Stuart has mastered a local old time style and shares it around the United States and Europe. As far as his music takes him, Stuart remembers to bring it on home, working to preserve and pass down Western North Carolina’s old time music to the next generation through teaching and mentoring. He has facilitated workshops and classes for Junior Appalachian Musicians and East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music Studies program. Travis Stuart is the recipient of the 2023 North Carolina Arts Council Folklife Apprenticeship as a mentor on Haywood County Old-Time music repertoire to Deb Shebish and was awarded the 2019 South Arts Folk & Traditional Arts Master Artist Fellowship.
Deb Shebish
A dynamic, nuanced, and versatile fiddler. Her playing conveys a distinctive style with an effortless mastery and infectious joy. Deb was awarded the 2023 North Carolina Arts Council Folklife Apprentice Grant to study Old-Time music under Travis Stuart of Haywood County, North Carolina. Deb fell in love with Old-Time and Irish fiddling in Bloomington, Indiana in 1998 and was greatly influenced by the musicians she met there. In 2000, she met Joe Dawson, (1928-2012), an old-time fiddler from south-central Indiana who grew up deeply immersed in the traditional music of the area. She loves to share his unique style and repertoire that she learned at Joe's weekly living room jams. Deb has toured nationally and internationally at venues including: Nashville's Ryman Auditorium with Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh and Ivan Goff, the United States Air Force Academy, Villanova University for the Irish Ambassador to the US, the Kelly House in Philadelphia for the Prince of Monaco, Waterford, Ireland Tall Ships Festival, Bangor, Maine's Celtic Crossroads Festival, and the Leith Folk Club in Scotland.
Vera van Heeringen
Originally from The Netherlands, Vera is firmly rooted in transatlantic traditions. Her emotionally astute songwriting is underpinned with an understated rich instrumental craft on guitar and mandolin. In September 2019, Vera released her third album, Won’t Be Broken, receiving rave reviews and described by the press as her best recording yet. Her songs are poignant and personal, heartbreaking and uplifting, her playing stripped back, potent, and full of groove.
Vera is one of my favorite musicians, a master/mistress of musicianship, she adds so much class to any performance with her open and honest songwriting and playing. Vera has been touring with her new band "Deux Familles" featuring Dirk and Ameilia Powell of the "Transatlantic Sessions" alongside well renowned fiddler Jock Tyldesley and son, Lukas Tyldesley on percusion, be sure to check them out if you enjoy a little cajun!
