Join Daniel Bachman and Aldona Dye for an "alternative folk song collection history" - a deep dive into the history of regional folk music and the musicians at the heart of the history, as viewed from the lens of the Virginia Folklore Society starting at the turn of the 20th century. Daniel says, "Everybody knows Lomax, and the Seegers, but for some reason these collectors \\[from the Virginia Folklore Society\\] have been forgotten, though the music is even more interesting."

Daniel Bachman is an acclaimed guitarist and composer, independent scholar, and longtime friend of Rhizome. Aldona Dye recently successfully defended her doctoral dissertation on her research into women collectors of folk ballads at the University of Virginia's McIntire Department of Music.
