Rich and the Po' Folks dates to the spring of 2006 when a group of friends got together with a common goal: to build a band on their shared love for the traditional music of East Kentucky and southwest Virginia. Taking their inspiration from some of the jewels of Appalachian music--fiddlers, banjo players, singers, songwriters-- Rich and the Po' Folks take the work of Old Time giants such as Art Stamper, Ed Haley, Charlie Osborne, George Gibson, Addie Graham, and John Morgan Salyer and use fiddle, banjo, bass, mandolin and guitar to kick it up as only a string band can!

Benefits a very worthy cause, the Cumberland Trail!
