The host of Folk & Acoustic Music will discuss everything from Woody Guthrie to Gram Parsons to one of the nation’s oldest continuous folk festivals: the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs.

Every month, we’ll unveil a rare book from the Florida Vault and learn why these books are so important to the Library’s special collection. We’ll chat with local historians, Florida folk experts and listen to tunes ranging from Florida folk music to rockabilly to Florida hyper rockabilly.
