DESCRIPTION:British traditional musician Brian Peters and American old-time
  musician Jeff Davis are the ideal team to have created a special multimed
 ia presentation\, Sharp’s Appalachian Harvest\, tracing the evolution of
  English folk music on both sides of the Atlantic. Through songs\, dance t
 unes\, haunting historic photos\, diary entries\, and their own research\,
  they bring to life the arduous work by English collectors Cecil Sharp and
  Maud Karpeles in the southern Appalachians in 1916-1918 to preserve balla
 ds still being sung in remote mountain areas. That “harvest” was one o
 f the largest folk song collections ever made (over 1600 pieces)\, and is 
 a treasure trove for many musicians today. Peters and Davis will perform a
  wide range of music\, from old ballads to American breakdowns\, dance tun
 es\, children’s songs and gospel. They’ve played together with wit and
  gusto for many years\, and their “Sharp” presentation has won raves o
 n their tours in the UK and the States. Brian Peters is a leading performe
 r of English songs and tunes\, renowned for his historical research and fo
 r his prowess on long ballads\, assorted squeezeboxes\, and guitar. Jeff D
 avis\, a protégé of Mike Seeger and Frank Warner (also music collectors)
  is a fine banjo player\, fiddler\, and singer with a rare authenticity ga
 ined from personal contact with old-time musicians.
