Brasstown – The Jones Brothers will perform a Friday night concert at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, N.C. at 7 p.m. on September 27. The show will be held in the Keith House.

Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.

Brothers Johnathan and Joshua Jones began to play bluegrass tunes as students in the Junior Appalachian Musicians program (JAM) at Stecoah.

In the past decade – since starting as JAM students – Johnathan has learned banjo and resonator guitar, while Joshua plays both fiddle and mandolin, and both have remained involved with JAM as teachers.

In addition to teaching, The Jones Brothers perform traditional bluegrass tunes with guitarist Betsy Blankenship and Larry Garrett on upright bass, while Betsy, Joshua, and Johnathan share the vocal melodic line and harmonies.
