Carter Family Fold
Welcome to The Carter Fold every Saturday night! Janette Carter,
one of three children of A.P. and Sara Carter established
the Carter Family Fold to honor the memory of her parents
and Maybelle Carter who played a historic role in helping
give birth to the age of country music beginning in 1927.
Since 1974, the non-profit Carter Music Center has presented
programs of old time and bluegrass music every weekend. Formally
established in 1979, the Center's objective is to promote
old-time music and pay tribute to the Original Carter Family
(A.P Carter, Sara Carter, and Maybelle Carter). The Saturday
concerts highlight the musical style made popular by the
Carter Family, considered by many as country music's first
family. In keeping with the traditional music style, no electrical
instruments are allowed (everything is acoustic). There's
lots of dancing and fun for the entire family. Shows are
family-oriented; no alcohol is permitted at concerts. Delicious
home-fixed snacks are available at the Carter Fold Snack
Bar, and you might be able to round out your collection of
Carter Family recordings at the well-stocked souvenir and
record concession. Come early and browse through our Museum
before the show. A Saturday with us in rural southwest Virginia
will supply you with an evening of musical entertainment
and country hospitality you won't soon forget. Chances are
you'll make some new friends and take with you some fond
memories. We'd love to have you visit us.
