MARLINTON -

Four-time Grammy Award winner David Holt and rising acoustic music star and Grammy nominee Josh Goforth join together to bring to life the joy and spirit of old-time mountain music and stories at the Pocahontas County Opera House Saturday, Sept. 8, at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10.

Between them, Holt and Goforth combine the virtuosic sounds of guitar, banjo, fiddle, slide guitar, mandolin, and a world of rhythm instruments from hambone (body slapping) rhythms to spoons, stump-fiddle, rhythm bones, jaw harp — and even paper bag.

Holt is known for his television and radio series. He is host of public television's "Folkways," a North Carolina program that takes the viewer through the Southern Mountains visiting traditional craftsmen and musicians. He served as host of The Nashville Network's "Fire on the Mountain,""Celebration Express," and "American Music Shop." He has been a frequent guest on "Hee Haw,""Nashville Now" andtThe Grand Ole Opry. Holt also took to the silver screen, as a musician in the popular film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Children 17 and under are admitted free of charge. Tickets are available in advance at pocahontasoperahouse.org and at the Green Bank and Marlinton galleries of the Pocahontas County Artisans Cooperative.
