Jim Lloyd doesn’t fit in a single neat category as musician or entertainer. Much like Doc Watson, his mountain upbringing provided a much more eclectic background that just the traditional music they mastered, including the pop and jazz they heard on radio and records. Jim, further, never made a choice between bluegrass and old-time, between open back and resonator banjos, between overhand and Scruggs style banjo playing. Jim’s musical roots extend back through at least four generations of musicians from the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. An Appalachian barber, musician, storyteller, presenter, music teacher, banjo historian, and radio host, Lloyd’s accomplishments extend through old-time, bluegrass, storytelling, and event organizing.. His latest release, Play Guitar in Seven Days, captures the variety of music that he interprets through his mountain lens. The album reached #12 on AirPlay Direct on 8-30-2017, #20 on the FAR chart for September 2017, and #51 on FolkDJ for October 2017.
The Folk School features some of the finest regional and national acts performing eclectic roots music. We’ll have standard seating available, first come first serve. We also have a family-focused social area of picnic tables in the back. You’re welcome to bring your dinner, card games, carving, sewing project, or set up on the grass and let your kids play.
A donation of $5-15 per adult is suggested, but all are welcome regardless of contribution. Folk School Students and Staff are not asked to donate. Any funds raised support traditional arts and help us strive for equitable pay for performers.
*Lineup, schedule, and venue are subject to change, for the most up to date details check the schedule at www.folkschool.org/calendar
