There's a sweet moment between songs when Nora Brown and Stephanie Coleman reminisce about their love for traditional banjo and fiddle tunes. Speaking about 'Across the Rocky Mountain," banjo picker Nora Brown says she first heard the song when she was about 10 or 11. That puts a grin on fiddler Stephanie Coleman's face, as she chimes in to say, "I had the same experience; we both were middle schoolers who were obsessed with old banjo players." It's this passion that these two have for traditional tunes that sparks me as a listener, and the audiences that come to see them. It's a body of work that's been handed down from player to player for centuries.
Tiny Desk fans may remember first meeting Nora Brown a few years back, when this 10th grader performed a Tiny Desk (home) concert thirty feet below the surface in Brooklyn. Now, with her musical soulmate, the two perform a few songs behind my desk from their recently released EP, Lady of the Lake, including the title track and "Copper Kettle."
I think it's safe to say that none of the original creators of these tunes could have imagined a world where this music is so easily accessible. This music still feels inspiring, with emotions of yearning and joy that are still central to our being.

Watching from Ireland on a cold January day and the light in the sky is short and weak. These musicians fill me with the warmth of their tradition and their skill as they play with such subtle but captivating pulse. Go hálainn!

I'm happy to see Nora Brown back on Tiny Desk! I remember listening to her previous Tiny Desk on repeat during COVID lockdown.

Lovely! Thought I heard familiar lyrics in that first song... nice to hear Nora explain how it was constructed from old English ballads...one of those old ballads (Jack-a-Roe) was a staple of Grateful Dead acoustic sets--the story of a woman disguising herself in mens clothing, finding her lover wounded on the field of battle and carrying him to safety, just as in this Appalachian version. Wonderful how the old songs are given new life by each generation of musicians.

Listening to this record again this morning. I remember Nora playing in brooklin folk festival in 2018, with her big hat. She was just a kid but already amazing. It's very beautifull to see how she grows and met with other amazing musicians. She faithfully plays the beautifull ancient folk songs all these years.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said the original creators could never conceive how accessible these songs are now. Love Nora and Stephanie. Been a fan for awhile.

This kind of music seeps into your bones and transports you to another time. What a delight! I was first introduced to Nora Brown by her Tiny Desk (Home) Concert, and was quickly enamored. Thank you for bringing her back, and to Stephanie Coleman for adding such soulful fiddle sounds!

I'm straight sobbing over here. That instrumental bit at the end of the first song touched and healed something deep. Thank you!

These are the songs, the real mountain songs, that bring tears to my heart. As a mountain man myself, when ever I am away from where my heart's home truly is and I hear these songs I long cry to be back home again. Where the hills and hollows close in to comfort one, the traditional songs still live on, especially when sung and played by these two talented young musicians.
