about

“Nora has a passion for the music of eastern Kentucky and Tennessee… with a thirst for storytelling.”
— Bob Boilen, NPR All Songs Considered

Nora Brown and Sarah Kate Morgan play with beauty and depth in the performances captured on their new single, "Live from Bristol". This single features Nora on banjo or guitar and Sarah Kate playing the mountain dulcimer.

Nora plays traditional music with a focus on Southern Appalachian banjo and guitar playing. She has played numerous venues and festivals in the US and Europe including the Newport Folk Festival and has performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk, TED Salon and WNYC’s Dolly Parton’s America Podcast. Since 2019 she has released 3 albums on Brooklyn’s own Jalopy Records Label and all records have charted on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts during the first week of release.

The New Yorker called her most recent record Long Time To Be Gone - “A disarming collection of traditional laments and exquisite banjo instrumentals”.

Sarah Kate has performed and/or recorded with artists like Tyler Childers, Alice Gerrard, and Erynn Marshall & Carl Jones. Born in Tennessee and currently based in Hindman, Kentucky, she practices, cultivates, teaches, and preserves Appalachian folk traditions in her role as the Hindman Settlement School’s Traditional Arts Education Director.

The song, Down in the Willow Garden, and instrumental, Waynesboro on this new single draw the listener in. The song is a murder ballad, poignant and dark, and the instrumental is good for dancing!
