Guest Speaker Eddie Huffman

Date of Upcoming Event: July 23rd

Friends of the Ashe County Public Library
Guest Speaker Eddie Huffman 11 a.m.

Eddie Huffman, a ninth- or tenth-generation North Carolinian, has been writing about music legends, muscle cars, obscenity trials, moonshiners, Civil War reenactors, and murderous ventriloquist dummies since before Lady Gaga was born. John Prine: In Spite of Himself is the first book he has written on his own. He has contributed to Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Utne Reader, All Music Guide, Goldmine, the Virgin Islands Source, and many other publications.

His latest book, Doc Watson: A Life in Music, was published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2025.

He is the father of Sam and Rhett (a professional musician in Atlanta) and grandfather of Maxwell. Eddie is an avid rail-trail rider, disc golfer, semi-professional photographer and videographer, and an occasional movie extra. He ate lunch with James Brown on Valentine’s Day and interviewed Marty Stuart while riding down I-85 in Ernest Tubb’s old tour bus. He once accused Rick Danko of using evasive interview techniques learned from Bob Dylan. (A gamble that paid off.) Eddie lives in Greensboro, North Carolina.
