Rare Bird Farm’s Partnership with Blue Ridge National Heritage Area

Rare Bird Farm (Spring Creek, NC) hosted the Fine Tuned Sessions event on May 4, 2024. The concert benefited the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA). Artists from the Fine Tuned Sessions performed for the all-day event. Ballad singers, old-time players, and more joined together to represent the cherished music of Western North Carolina. Special guest Tyler Ramsey joined Donna Ray Norton in a unique performance, combining traditional ballad singing with acoustic guitar playing.

Since then, BRNHA has continued to develop our wonderful relationship with the farm’s co-owners: Mitchell Davis, Farrah Hoffmire, Ben Gibbins, and Edwin Self. We are so grateful to have their support on additional projects. On August 30, 2024, Rare Bird Farm will host the Fine Tuned Sessions at the Earl Scruggs Music Festival. Artists include Brandon Johnson, Benjamin Barker, Cary Fridley, Bayla Davis, Donna Ray Norton, and Sheila Kay Adams. 

Another Fine Tuned Sessions concert will be held at Rare Bird Farm in Spring 2025. We can’t wait to gather again at their beautiful space with so many talented traditional artists. 

Until then, please check out this amazing video that perfectly captures the magic from that day.
