The Appalachian String Band Festival is an annual celebration at Fayette County’s historic Camp Washington-Carver. The camp serves as West Virginia’s mountain cultural arts center and a fitting backdrop for the five-day festival. Randy Yohe takes us to the crowning event of the string band fest, where old-time mountain music bridges generations into a worldwide fiddle and banjo community.
