The Red Barn is the site of a longstanding tradition in these mountains: old-time music, string-band music, bluegrass music.
Practitioners take up guitars, mandolins, banjos and fiddles, and, in the words of one of the genre’s classic tunes, “make them sing.”
Other community traditions are embraced at the casual weekly gatherings. There is no charge for entry; all ages are welcome; fans refrain from dancing during hymns; and, just like a church supper, food is brought for sharing. “It’s family entertainment — no alcohol, no riffraff,” said Burl Mast, owner, founder and banjo picker. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+red+barn+unicoi+tn&view=detail&mid=5D6125A7DCD3D53DCFB25D6125A7DCD3D53DCFB2&FORM=VIRE
