Description

Milepost Music presents Erynn Marshall and Carl Jones
Sunday, Sept. 1, 2-4 p.m.
Mabry Mill

Erynn Marshall and Carl Jones are old-time musicians from Galax, Va. They are married in life and music. Southern song duets and powerful fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo tunes comprise their diverse sets. Erynn and Carl play effortlessly with spontaneity and vitality.

While rooted in the traditional sounds of older players, this duo stays true to their own muse by composing new, tradition-rooted music. Their original tunes and songs have spread around the globe. Carl’s song, “Last Time on the Road” was featured on the Grammy award-winning album “Unleashed” by the Nashville Bluegrass Band. The dup has won many awards for their playing including Erynn’s first place fiddle win at Clifftop and Carl’s third place fingerpicking-guitar win at Winfield. They have 15 recordings between them including their duet CD Sweet Memories Never Leave. Erynn and Carl have recently toured in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and China.
