Gratitude for our individual supporters

The Blood Roots podcast project has been fortunate to receive support from individuals who understand the importance of preserving and sharing traditional American ballads. Today, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation to these wonderful supporters who have helped make this project possible.

Our sincere thanks go to:

Bruce Smith. Your early support of this project helped establish the foundation for everything that followed. Your belief in the importance of preserving these musical traditions has been invaluable.

Mike Allen. Your contribution demonstrates your commitment to keeping traditional music alive and accessible for future generations. We are grateful for your support of this artistic endeavor.

Gayle Axton. Your generous support helps ensure these important stories and songs will continue to resonate with new audiences. Thank you for helping us bridge past and present through these timeless ballads.

Linda Gibson. Your backing of this project reflects your understanding of how vital these musical traditions are to our cultural heritage. We deeply appreciate your support in bringing these stories to life.

Lorna Mangus. Your contribution helps us preserve and share these compelling pieces of American musical history. Thank you for supporting our mission to keep these traditions vibrant and accessible.

These individual supporters, along with our institutional funders, have made it possible for us to move forward with our plans to create radio plays based on traditional ballads, which will be performed live at the Appalachian Center for the Arts in Pikeville, Kentucky, and recorded for our podcast series.

Individual supporters like these are the backbone of cultural preservation projects. Their personal investment in keeping traditional music and storytelling alive demonstrates the continued relevance and importance of these art forms in our communities.

We invite our supporters to stay connected with the project through our newsletter and social media channels, where we'll share updates on our progress and details about upcoming performances and podcast episodes.

Thank you all for being part of this journey to preserve and celebrate our rich musical heritage.
