Me & Martha (a.k.a. Don DePoy & Martha Hills) bring their passion for music and master musicianship to the stage. They are truly "picking it up & carrying on the rich tradition of Music Making from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley..." Their program weaves together a history of song, story and instrument. Playing banjo, guitar, bass fiddle, fiddle, mountain dulcimer, autoharp, mandolin, and Dobro, the program brings traditional mountain music alive. Whether the song is from antebellum or a present day ditty students will delight to the rousing performance that encourages audience participation at every turn. The presentation meets many of the SOLs requirements. Martha and Don are members of America’s Old-Time Country Music Hall of Fame and professional educators. Don is a 5th generation music maker and holds a Ph.D. in American Music and Popular Culture.
