Sarah Kate Morgan & Leo Shannon - Featherbed (2025)

Sarah Kate Morgan, a mountain dulcimer player, and fiddler Leo Shannon are traditional musicians who live and teach in Eastern Kentucky. Leo learned to play the fiddle in Seattle, while Sarah Kate has been playing the dulcimer, an instrument built by her grandfather, since she was seven, and writes songs about life in Southern Appalachia and her childhood in East Tennessee. Both musicians are actively involved in preserving and transmitting traditional music, as they co-run the Pick & Bow program in Eastern Kentucky, which offers free traditional music lessons to over 80 students. Their collection of recordings titled Featherbed includes both concert recordings from Virginia and Kentucky and tracks recorded in Leo's home. On two of the tracks, they are joined by David McKindley-Ward on bouzouki and harmony vocals.
