The concert will conclude a daylong event for SOOTS students, who will participate in discussions led by UNC faculty, students and others on how to preserve best Piedmont blues music and North Carolina folklore. To sustain roots music, SOOTS must not only raise funds, but work to raise young folklorists as well.
