Roadlore
Welcome to the home of the RoadLore blog, the living journal of Wayfarer Appalachia. Here on Main Street in Tazewell, the mountains lean close and the air carries both music and memory. Within our walls, two spirits guide the journey — the Velvet Room, soft and hushed, where storytellers and songwriters bare their truths, and the Crossroads Stage, bold and untamed, where bands and wanderers thunder through.
Each plate from our kitchen is steeped in local flavor, each cocktail stirred with a touch of kinship, and every note of music a reminder that the road is alive with story. This space is where we share those tales — the triumphs, the stumbles, the gatherings by firelight — all the wayfarings and whispers that make us who we are. Walk with us, and together we’ll keep the flame burning bright in the heart of Appalachia.
Chosen Road Brings Mountain Harmony and a Message of Hope to Wayfarer Appalachia
Founded in the hills of West Virginia, Chosen Road was shaped by front porches, country churches, and the kind of close harmonies that only come from standing near enough to hear each other breathe. Their sound is rooted in traditional bluegrass, but it reaches beyond any one label. You hear country, gospel, and Americana in the music, all tied together by something that feels steady, honest, and true.
That is what makes this upcoming night at Wayfarer Appalachia feel like such a natural fit.
