# Event Details

- **Event Name**: An Appalachian Christmas
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This Annual Appalachian Christmas Concert is a gift to the people of the High Country. We celebrate the giving spirit of Mountain Home Music’s founder, Joe Shannon, by honoring Joe’s vision for preserving our traditional mountain music, singing, dancing and spoken word.  The performers donate their talents to present this special concert that serves as a fundraiser for The Hospitality House of NW North Carolina and Santa's Toy Box.

The concert is free, but a Love Offering will be collected and shared between these two wonderful community non-profits.

Giving of their time and talents for 2025 are the following friends of Mountain Home Music:

The Mountain Home Bluegrass Boys featuring David Johnson, Steve Lewis, Scott Freeman and Josh Scott

Patrick & Kay Crouch - Multi-instrumentalists with a lifelong love of music. Kay has a varied musical background that includes symphonic and solo percussion work and musical theatre as well as county and bluegrass music. Patrick has been performing acoustic music since 1977 when he founded New River Reign, a staple at Blowing Rock’s P.B. Scott’s Music Hall.

Pickin' Thistles - A sibling trio blending Celtic, bluegrass, and folk, creating a unique sound that captivates listeners. Delivering unforgettable performances, they aim to bring their joy of music to life.

Fern Hill - Music runs through the roots of Fern Hill, just like the Appalachian soil they grew up on. Arwen and Lorien Cockman started playing before they could walk, performing with their father, John, and his family band, The Cockman Family. Over the years, they have developed their own unique and dynamic sound that weaves together Appalachian, Canadian, Celtic and Western influences.

Mary Greene - Mary has been a part of Mountain Home Music since its beginning 31 years ago. A close personal friend of Joe Shannon, Greene plays both lap dulcimer and guitar and piano. She will be joined by Mountain Home Music board member Bob Goddard.

Julie Shepherd Powell, Nora Weatherby, Gordy Hinners & Rebecca Keeter
