Unspoken Tradition - Resilience (2025)

We find ourselves at a proverbial crossroads in Southern Appalachia. Our land battered by the devastation of a hurricane, scorched by scores of wildfires; ancient rivers, swelled by floodwaters, carving new courses through the landscape. Yet the land and its peoples persist. As artists, we are the guardians of the stories of the people in our communities— stories of hope and love, of loss and desperation, of a community rising above tragic circumstance. Stories of RESILIENCE. In this collection of music, we carve our course as well. We reflect, in song, what it means to meet the moment with music that both binds our wounds and demonstrates our healing. In bearing witness to this time and place, we recognize that the path forward is not just survival—it is the conscious choice to innovate, to adapt in the face of adversity. It is in that choice that we find meaning, and renewal.
