Description
John and Kathie Hollandsworth are natives of Christianburg in southwestern Virginia, and have been performing and teaching since the early 1980's, with a repertoire that includes traditional Appalachian music and its many related styles. John has been developing his own autoharp style since childhood, when he became familiar with traditional music through playing with relatives and friends. His playing style incorporates both chromatic and diatonic techniques, and he is highly sought after as a workshop leader and classroom teacher of his style and repertoire. In 2010 he was inducted into the Autoharp Hall of Fame. Kathie sings, plays hammered dulcimer and upright bass, and they are popular performers and clinicians, both in the Virginia/North Carolina region, and nationally.
