This week we have Barbara Walton & Jennifer Gillenwater. 

Barbara Walton is a mother, grandmother and a retired music educator spending many fond years at Holston High, Damascus Middle, Rhea Valley, and Abingdon Elementary schools.  She studied classical piano at E&H College, later pursuing her love of traditional music with Mary Munsey as Rosewood Emerald, The Honey Dippers, VHCC Old Time Band, the Henderson Jam and Jen & Barb. Barbara directed the music for Theatre Bristol’s production of The Mockingbird Sings, portraying Maybelle Carter and playing upright Bass.  She teaches fiddle for the Washington County Junior Appalachian Musicians program and is a member of SoHA where she continues to share her lifetime enjoyment of music.  

Jennifer Gillenwater has been writing songs and performing with various bands including Family Ties, Turkey Tracks Trio, Nowhere Valley, the Playwrights, and more recently, Jen & Barb, and the Songwriters of Highlands Appalachian (SOHA) group – in the Tri-Cities area for more than twenty years. Her love of music began early, at the age of 11, when she began playing the flute and singing in the church choir with her sister and father. She picked up guitar in high school and then began writing poetry and snippets of songs. She continued playing flute and guitar into her twenties and thirties but was too busy with her studies and then teaching career to do much. Her instruments began to gather dust in a forgotten closet until she turned forty. Her mother gifted her first dulcimer and she began to learn mountain music, folk, and gospel songs. Her husband, Michael, and her moved to Abingdon in 2024, and she was thrilled when she met Mary Munsey and the Songwriters of Highland Appalachia. She is having fun playing at different venues, such as Sweet Bay Brewery, the Appalachian Trail Center in Damascus, local libraries, the Highlands Festival Tunes at Noon, and the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.
