Title
NCMAMA - North Carolina Mountain Acoustic Music Association
Description
The acoustic roots music of the Appalachian Mountains has a rich heritage tightly interwoven with local history and folklore. Many consider this native art form to be an integral part of this region and quite possibly, its very soul. Our area of the country is unique in that the music played hundreds of years ago can still be heard from the mountain homes and front porches, to the city streets and taverns.
Who We Are
The North Carolina Mountain Acoustic Music Association (NCMAMA) is a non-profit, volunteer-run and community-based organization, formed to foster the acoustic music culture our area is becoming so famous for! The (volunteer) Board of NCMAMA consists of professionals involved in the music business, as well as musicians themselves, who have their fingers on the pulse of the acoustic music scene. Members include local musicians, fans, friends and supporters of our mountain music traditions.
What We Do
NCMAMA serves artists by providing exposure for local talent, cultivating the music community, and assisting musicians with professional development. Members benefit through advance information on shows, discounts to events, and access to the artists and the roots music scene. Together, we provide a forum for acoustic music enthusiasts to network with each other, as well as share their talent and appreciation for roots music with the public.
