The Mountain Girl experience returns to Pikeville June 15th through the 17th with local headliner, Coltown Dixie, leading the show. After recording and performing together for 14 years, the group is ready to play on the first day of the festival at the Mountain Top Media stage. Without Coltown Dixie, the Mountain Girl experience would have never been a main-stay festival in Pikeville. The Mountain Girl experience kind of came out of a part of that thought process of how can we create more opportunities, not only for me and my bandmates to play here locally, but for other great artists that we know here. Specifically, other female artists that we know that may not get on as many festival bills as a lot of festivals that, you know, honestly may have a very large portion of male musicians and then, you know, a token couple of female artists. And so we thought, what if we switch that around and have basically an all-female lineup? Preston also mentioned some new material will be shown off during the Bluegrass Night. Coltown Dixie hopes to inspire future generations of women Bluegrass artists. We're an all-female Bluegrass band in a really still a very male-dominated genre of music, Bluegrass music is. But we've seen that change so much in the time since we formed as a band. There's a song by Emily Jamerson who is just an excellent singer-songwriter in Floyd County. We've had her with Mountain Girl experience since the first year and she does a song called Worthy that we just fell in love with. And that song really speaks to us and we think it speaks to what Mountain Girl is all about. You know, it talks about, you know, a girl maybe telling another girl or maybe herself, you know, you are worthy of more than you think that you're worth. And don't put yourself down. And, you know, that's a kind of message that, you know, that we want to present. And we thought that would be a great one to work up for Mountain Girl. We've done it a couple of times before in smaller shows, but we're really excited to do that one here. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
