Heartbreaking. That\u2019s how eighth-generation ballad singer Donna Ray Norton describes Hurricane Helene, a storm that forever changed the landscape she calls home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from Western North Carolina and know it like the back of my hand,\u201d says Norton, who grew up in the Madison County community of Sodom Laurel and now lives in Weaverville. \u201cBut today, when I drive through a place I once knew, it looks unfamiliar. It\u2019s hard to describe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like so many in the area, Norton\u2019s livelihood also took a hit. In the wake of Helene, she lost her job. Several of the singer\u2019s concerts were also canceled, including her much anticipated performance at RiddleFest in downtown Burnsville.<\/p>\n

First hosted in 2008, RiddleFest is a tribute to Lesley Riddle (1905-1979), a Black musician whose groundbreaking guitar playing helped shape the sound of early country music. Born in the Silvers Gap community of Yancey County, Riddle was a key influence on the legendary Carter Family. His distinctive guitar style, which became known as the \u201cCarter scratch,\u201d is still widely used in bluegrass, folk and country music today.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally scheduled for October 19\u2014less than one month after the storm\u2014RiddleFest 2024 had to be postponed,\u201d says Ellen Denker, president of the Traditional Voices Group, a historical association that organizes the annual event.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the casual visitor, the town of Burnsville appears to have survived in relatively good condition,\u201d says Denker. \u201cBut several villages along the Cane River were washed away. In Yancey County, over 1,400 structures were destroyed, and more than 2,300 structures had major damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these ongoing challenges, RiddleFest will return this month with the theme \u201cSongs of Life and Love: A Concert of Resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n

New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Joy Clark will headline the event, performing soulful songs that embody the healing power of music.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from Southeast Louisiana, and my community has faced relentless natural disasters and setbacks,\u201d says Clark. \u201cThrough it all, I\u2019ve seen incredible resilience and strength. And sometimes, resilience lies not just in pushing forward, but in recognizing the power found in pausing, regrouping and returning with greater resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norton will open the evening with a set of Appalachian ballads, many of which go back generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be sharing one of the oldest oral non-indigenous traditions in the United States,\u201d says Norton. \u201cThese songs survived the Flood of 1916, and now they\u2019re surviving Hurricane Helene.\u201d<\/p>\n

While she\u2019s keeping the exact songs under wraps, Norton promises they\u2019ll capture the enduring spirit of the mountain people.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom always told me to sing whatever is on my heart, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m planning on doing at RiddleFest,\u201d says Norton. \u201cIt feels good to share my voice in a way that brings people comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

RiddleFest is set for Saturday, March 15, at 7 p.m. in the Burnsville Town Center (6 South Main Street, Burnsville). Tickets for the concert are $20.<\/p>\n

Advance tickets are available at Eventbrite.com<\/a> and the Burnsville Town Center (828.682.7209). Tickets may also be purchased at the door. Learn more at TraditionalVoicesGroup.com<\/a> on the group\u2019s Facebook page or at Burnsville Town Center.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
