More About CES presents A Conversation with Missy Raines: Leading a Bluegrass Band as a Woman and a Bass Player
Leading a band as a bass player comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. When that role also includes being a woman in a still heavily male-dominated genre, it's gets even more interesting. Join Grammy-nominated bluegrass icon Missy Raines during the Appalachian Festival for a conversation about the dynamics of a working bluegrass band, inspiring collaboration and what creative leadership can look like. Free and open to all.
The engagement of Missy Raines and Allegheny is presented in partnership with Folklore and Folklife Programming at FSU as part of the Appalachian Festival. CES is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org) and receives financial support from the Allegany Arts Council and the City of Frostburg.
