The Appalachian Forest Heritage Area (AFHA) is very pleased to present Born Old in concert at the Darden Mill in Elkins, WV. www.facebook.com/bornoldband?ref=br_tf The Darden Mill is located at the corner of Railroad Ave and First St. 2 Railroad Ave Elkins, WV 26241 Map tinyurl.com/lo5p23a Evening parking is available at the Mill, on-street, and in the H&R Block lot across the street. Call (304) 637-6182 for more info. *** Born Old is Paul Gartner (banjo, guitar & vocals) and Doug Van Gundy (fiddle, guitar, mandolin & vocals). The duo plays traditional old-time music from West Virginia, as well as early country classics from the great artists of the 78 rpm era, including The Carter Family, Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon, and others. Gartner and Van Gundy have been making music together for 15 years, giving performances that are traditional and informative without sacrificing a very high energy, raucous, fun factor. Recently guests on National Public Radio’s Mountain Stage program, they perform regularly throughout West Virginia and surrounding states, and have been featured at both the Appalachian String Band Festival (Clifftop) and Vandalia Gathering annually for over a decade. They have also taught at many festivals and music camps, including the Augusta Heritage and Allegheny Echoes workshops.
