Alma - live music
The Snake Pit in Enaville, Idaho1480 Coeur Dalene River RdKingston, ID83839 Map
Alma (say it like "Alamo") lives in Western North Carolina. She plays patchwork music: country, folk, and Appalachian roots sewn together to make something unique. Songwriting is cheaper than therapy, and old songs make her happy.
Music has taken her lots of places, from the hometown bars to church to the highway. She spent a while performing as an entertainer on a passenger train, and she wound up getting 3 yeses from ABC's American Idol Judges on Season 1 and being sent to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Music continues to give her stories to tell.
As a kid she'd spend summers in the Great Grandma's mountain house in Western NC. Her English teacher Mama took her to historical book readings and heritage events, and she fell in love with mountain culture and heritage - especially the music. She was the kid frolicking arounud the yard singing Scotch-Irish murder ballads, passed down through generations; songs about old-true loves and the occasional knife to the heart.
She started taking fiddle lessons around age 12, practicing old-time tunes outside because of the dying-cat noises, and then she went on to learn clawhamer banjo and guitar. She's played in lots of bands, but she's mostly a solo act these days.
Her musical influences include country gold, bluegrass, folk, old-time, americana, and blues. She attributes inspiration to artists such as Allison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Ola Belle Reed, Bobbie Gentry, Dolly Parton, Sheila Kay Adams, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, and so many more. Apparently she sounds a lot like Jewel.
She's super happy to be playing for ya'll.
