A free concert for our Morgantown Members! Rachel Eddy, of Morgantown, is a multi-instrumentalist who focuses on old time music. She will discuss the music and instruments she plays, delighting the audience with her talent! Rachel was born and raised in rural WV just south of Morgantown, where her musical family inspired her to play and sing as a little girl. She grew up listening to local fiddlers, her father among them, going to old-time festivals, and attending square dances. The old-time bug bit her early in life and Rachel now performs and teaches full-time on fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass.
