Marshall, NC: Ballad Swap at the Old Marshall Jail
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 (4:00 PM - 8:30 PM) (EDT)
Description
We'll travel to nearby Marshall, NC to explore the town's rebuilding efforts post-Helene, browse offerings at Marshall High Studios, and attend the monthly ballad swap. Reservation fee covers transportation. For over two years, the Old Marshall Jail Hotel has been home to the only known recurring traditional ballad swap in the Southern Appalachians. Our Ballad Nights are hosted by the Nest of Singing Songbirds - 7th and 8th generation ballad singers Sheila Kay Adams (NEA National Heritage Fellow), Donna Ray Norton, and more.
Marshall, GA
We will plan for two shuttles leaving the hotel at different times and returning to the hotel at different times.
Participants can choose to travel with a group at 4pm to explore and shop, or later at 5:30 pm to arrive in time for the ballad swap.
Shuttles will return at 7:30 and 8:30.
