Mountain Sam Wheelock is an authentic part of the heritage of the music and subculture of the southern Appalachians. His knowledge of the region’s music runs deep. A STORY AND A SONG is a one man production about growing up in the mountains of eastern Tennessee, the grandson of a convicted moonshiner. The extended Carter Family often played in
an Aunt’s front yard. The mission is to be respectful of that form while being active in the evolution of roots music. A STORY AND A SONG is modern electric folk music layered with a personal memoir; a heartfelt journey into the heritage of a regional people.
