From Maryland to Georgia, nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Atlantic tidewater lowlands, you'll find the sprawling foothills of a region known as The Piedmont. Its rich soil is perfect for farming, and its musical history is equally lush. Gospel, country, ragtime and jazz, musical traditions black and white, rural and urban – they've all swirled together to lay the foundation for a signature musical style: The Piedmont Blues. In this episode of The Signal, producer Aaron Henkin and Maryland Traditions folklorist Cliff Murphy hit the road together and head out to the unofficial headquarters of the Piedmont Blues – a storefront barbershop in Riverdale, Maryland. It's the local hangout for Piedmont Blues legends Phil Wiggins, Warner Williams, Jay Summerour, Eleanor Ellis, Rick Franklin, and Michael Baytop. You'll hear them share their stories, memories, and songs in this special edition of The Signal.
