Tracing the roots of American music from its cultured past to artists playing it forward, join folk musician and host Nicholas Edward Williams for this audio documentary-style series. Each episode dives into 4-5 stories. We start with the journey behind a traditional song, then uncover the lives of impactful musicians across the American roots music spectrum; to someone doing so today. Hear stories of immigrants who brought their music to America, the pioneers who shaped us, the under-represented, and songs of the South: Gospel, Blues, Country, and the Folk music that's derived from it all.
