Sandrock Recordings
Posted on December 21, 2015
I’m so lucky to be a part of this team led by Park Ranger Bobby Fulcher. This NPR story on Bobby’s work can provide some context. This is a project not to be overlooked.
We have many new releases, so please take some time to peruse our catalog. One of the recent projects I am most proud of, Born Ramblers, showcases the repertoire of Tom and Tammie McCarroll. Tom is pictured throughout the years below. We recently lost this eldest son of the infamous Fiddling Jimmy McCarroll of the Roane County Ramblers. I really miss this dear friend and am committed to securing his legacy with this final album release. Tom and his daughter Tammie played music together for decades. Tom and Jimmy taught Tammie to play when the instruments were larger than she was! This family—whose name which fittingly translates to “the King’s Musicians”—and their musical heritage are a precious gift to us here in Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau. It has been a rare privilege to work with this family.

The musicianship you will find recordings is rare, authentic, and particular to a very special region. I knew nothing about old-time music prior to this appointment but find myself intoxicated by such resounding notes and tunes. I encourage you to explore both stories and songs alike. These recordings detail the specific history and tradition of musicians we work with intimately—as well as life in the Cumberland Plateau, past and present.

Tracing the American South: Photographs from the Do Good Fund

I really enjoyed co-curating Tracing the American South: Photographs from the Do Good Fund with Tom Rankin, Director of the MFA|EDA program at Duke University and former Director of the Center for Documentary Studies.

The Do Good Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Columbus, Georgia. Since its founding in 2012, the Fund has focused on building a museum-quality collection of contemporary Southern photography, including works by emerging photographers.
2012
Do Good’s mission is to make its collection broadly accessible through regional museums, nonprofit galleries and nontraditional venues, and to encourage complimentary, community-based programming to accompany each exhibition. Founding Director Alan Rothschild was wonderful to work with on this project.

Silent Ballad
Posted on September 20, 2015
Silent Ballad is a limited edition hardcover showcasing my work in East Tennessee with the Cumberland Trail’s Music Heritage Project. This publication presents the work I made here in 2014. I’ve since fallen in love with the place, the sounds that resonate, and the stories behind them—so I’m still running around these mountains! The pictures accumulate daily, but this is an early peek at a work-in-progress.
New Website

Well, I suppose the first news to report here is this very website, born on September 24, 2015. Big thanks to Eli Van Zoeren for his meticulous design work. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a web designer. I hope you enjoy the new site.
