Linehan Concert Hall, Baltimore MD
With a voice born in the mountains and shaped by the hard times she lived and saw, Ola Belle Reed (1916-2002) established herself as a significant and influential banjo picker, singer, and songwriter of old-time mountain music.
This concert celebrates Ola Belle’s life and legacy by bringing together musicians and family members who worked her, along with those who continue to carry on in the tradition of old-time music. It is part of the broader Ola Belle project ongoing at UMBC this spring, including an exhibit at the AOK Library Gallery and the screening of a new documentary film.
