Southern Songs and Stories is a documentary series about the music of the South and the artists who make it. We highlight their performances and discover the stories behind their songs with a look at their lives on stage, in the studio and at home as well as the family, friends, fans and music professionals around them. The series is based in western North Carolina and the surrounding Appalachian and foothill regions, covering an incredible array of musicians and bands. Host Joe Kendrick produces Southern Songs and Stories independently, documenting the current music of the South and the story of how it came to be, from styles that are centuries old to genres that are just emerging. It is a show for everyone who loves music and for anyone who wants to explore the South. Show less
