The Madison County Arts Council is proud to present a show of rarely-seen photographs  by musician, television host, and Madison County favorite David Holt. These photos document David’s musical mentors, most of whom were also friends of his. They are a visual history of Holt’s lifelong journey of learning and passing on the sounds and stories of these Appalachian and rural musical masters. Many of the subjects are from Madison County and the surrounding area. These are the people who have carried on our stories, songs, and musical traditions.

For over three decades, David’s passion for traditional music and culture has fueled a successful performing and recording career. He has earned four Grammy Awards and performed and recorded with many of his mentors including Doc Watson, Grandpa Jones, Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Roy Acuff and Chet Atkins. Today he tours the country performing solo, with his band The Lightning Bolts, and with Sutton, Holt and Coleman. Holt will be on hand for the opening reception on Friday, April 18th from 6-8pm.
