Presented by Otter Opry, this concert spotlights Martha Spencer, a multi-instrumentalist and dancer from Virginia’s Blue Ridge whose sound is steeped in Appalachian tradition. Rolling Stone Country has praised her music for channeling the pulse of a string band with the heartfelt pull of classic country. Raised in the renowned Spencer Family, she picked up guitar, fiddle, banjo, bass, dulcimer, and mandolin early on, and she brings the percussive flair of flatfooting and clogging to the stage. Appearing as the Martha Spencer Duo with Lucas Pasley on fiddle, banjo, and vocals, the show promises a lively, foot-stomping set with plenty of heart. The Austin Chronicle notes that Spencer refreshes the high lonesome tradition by blending country and bluegrass with a soaring spirit.
