Sheila Kay Adams comes from a small mountain community in western North Carolina. For seven generations her family has maintained the tradition of passing down the English, Scottish, and Irish ballads that came over with her ancestors in the late 1700's. Sheila learned these ballads from her relatives, primarily from her great-aunt, Dellie Chandler Norton.

Sheila also grew up listening to great mountain storytellers. Stories from them, and about them, and her own growing up years in the little community of Sodom, NC, form the nucleus of her repertoire. A gifted and talented performer on the 5-string banjo, Sheila captivates audiences with her clawhammer style picking, her singing, and her stories.

For further information, please call Evy Mayer at (718) 549-1344 after 11:00 AM.
