Description:
Alexander Black House & Cultural Center presents Tellico in concert on Thursday, March 7, 2019.

Tellico plays Appalachian Folk, acoustic, Bluegrass, Old Time and Blues. Firmly planted in Asheville, NC's thriving roots music scene, Tellico is well schooled in bluegrass, but with an unbridled organic Appalachiacana sound, combining some of the finest voices, songs and instrumental prowess in western North Carolina and beyond.

Tellico features the singing and songwriting of Anya Hinkle (guitar, fiddle) and Stig Stiglets (bass, harmonica), with Aaron Ballance on dobro and Jed Willis on mandolin and clawhammer banjo. In late 2018, Tellico released Woven Waters (Organic Records) produced by Celtic guitar legend John Doyle, and quickly won honors on folk charts for #1 song and artist in just its first month at radio.

Anya and Stig's committed, authentic vocals are alloyed with Aaron's flowing and soaring Dobro and Jed's textured and expressive mandolin, rooted in the mountain music they grew up with while pushing tradition into a modern Americana sound aesthetic.

Tour highlights include appearances at MerleFest, Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival and Bristol Rhythm and Roots to name a few.
