THE QUEEN FAMILY

The mountains of Appalachia are home to a folk music tradition
that traces its roots to England, Scotland and Ireland. Picking up the
African banjo and other influences in its evolution, this tradition gave
rise to gospel, bluegrass and country music. The recipients of the
North Carolina Folk Heritage Award, the prestigious Brown-Hudson
Folklore Award, and many other honors, the Queen family of Western
North Carolina have become icons of Southern Appalachian culture.
