    Mount Airy was a mecca for old-time music long before Andy Griffith immortalized his hometown as Mayberry on “The Andy Griffith Show.” North Carolina’s favorite native son, Griffith played tribute to the region’s musical traditions, often playing on his show with the Darlings, a real-life musical family.

    The “Down the Road on the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina” podcast highlights bluegrass and old-time music stories, performers, and traditions across the mountain and foothills counties of Western North Carolina. Hosted by Laura Boosinger and produced by Kim Clark of WNCW-FM, the podcast is a joint effort of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area, WNCW-FM, and No Depression.
