Appalachian Road Show

Appalachian Road Show is a visionary acoustic ensemble, bringing new-generation interpretations of traditional Americana, bluegrass and folk songs, as well as offering innovative original music, all presented with a common thread tied directly to the heart of the Appalachian regions of the United States. GRAMMY-nominated banjoist Barry Abernathy, joins forces with GRAMMY-winning fiddler Jim Van Cleve, fresh off of his recent stint touring with multi-platinum country artist Josh Turner, as well as esteemed vocalist and mandolinist Darrell Webb, who has recorded and toured with Dolly Parton and Rhonda Vincent, among many others. The group also includes 26-year-old “old soul” guitarist Zeb Snyder, whose fierce and versatile playing recalls Doc Watson and Norman Blake as readily as it does Duane Allman and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

“Authenticity Never Goes Out of Style.”
For Appalachian Road Show, it’s more than a motto — it’s a mission.
Formed in 2018, Appalachian Road Show has emerged as one of modern bluegrass and Americana music’s most compelling and authentic voices. Built around a shared commitment to preserving and celebrating the culture, stories, and spirit of Appalachia, the band combines elite musicianship, powerful songwriting, soaring harmonies, and deeply rooted storytelling into an unforgettable live experience.
The mission is simple: honor and tell the truth of the people and places that shaped Appalachian music, and carry that authenticity forward to a new generation.
Appalachian Road Show presents a musical journey through the peaks and valleys of Appalachia — from coalfields and churches to rail lines and front porches — exploring themes of faith, hardship, family, labor, love, loss, war, resilience, and heritage through songs that are timeless, human, and profoundly American.
More than a concert, it is a cultural experience.
