Hicks Family SingersTennessee Family Ballad TraditionSaturday,
april 6, 8 p.m.The Hicks Family of the Cumberland Plateau possesses
in collective memory a quantity of ballads that includes many of
the oldest and rarest ever kept in family tradition in the United
States. Through a Tennessee Arts Commission Apprenticeship grant,
siblings Daniel Hicks, Freeda Beaty, and Carmen McCord Hicks, all
children of ballad singer Bessford Hicks, are passing on these
songs and style to four young apprentices, including Hicks
descendents Angela Bailey, Mack Bailey, and Erin Bailey, as well as
family friend Summer Boyd. This unaccompanied style of singing is
seldom presented today, and the beauty, tragedy, humor, and history
in the songs makes their preservation an important and treasured
Tennessee tradition.
