Charles Pettee and FolkPsalm offer an exciting and entertaining concert of bluegrass and new acoustic music featuring Pettee’s settings for various Old Testament Psalms. FolkPsalm features the talents of renowned professional musicians from NC, including FUMC member Brittney Whitmire. FolkPsalm very recently appeared on the main stage of the Wild Goose Festival.
