A powerhouse singer, Fisher’s nuanced vocals vary from bluesy belt to sultry whisper, from technical prowess to stripped-down raw emotion, with a piano style that is theatrical and passionate. | John Golden is a folksinger / storyteller living in Wilmington, NC. He is a retired (for 23 years) civil engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers and has been a part of the Ocrafolk Festival for 19 years. John has great interest in and knowledge of coastal Carolina history and the events, characters and legends that populate that history.

Co-founder and executive director of the Ramblin’ Conrad Folklife Institute, Jeanne’s song databases and methods from her dissertation, ‘Fit to be sung in Streets:’ Song in British Colonial America, 1750-1776, are being developed as SongHistory.org, an online project of the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute. |
