Guitarist and composer Alex Martin presents the world premiere of his settings of a suite of ten poems by Michael Martin (1936–2023), whom former North Carolina Poet Laureate Shelby Stephenson called “the foremost meditative poet of Appalachia.” The songs make up his fourth CD, Appalachian Fall, recorded with stellar musicians spanning the jazz and Americana genres. Alex’s collaborators performing with him in this show include vocalist and clarinettist Jess Eliot Myhre, fiddler Sarah Foard, bassist Steve Arnold, and drummer Keith Butler Jr.
