"The Song of the Mountains" | TBSB at Holiday Hills Bluegrass Festival

"The Song of the Mountains" is a fan favorite, especially this past weekend in Laurel Hill, FL at the Holiday Hills Bluegrass Festival (May 1-2)! Written by Anneli in collaboration with Geary, "The Song of the Mountains" is a reflection of the small towns in Appalachia evolving and progressing over time. What used to be quiet and quaint villages, even in the last few years are now loud and buzzing populations; some mountain towns are, in a sense, losing the magic that once made them so unique and special. Within the song, Anneli sheds light on her daddy’s frustration with the overpopulation in her hometown, and how she’s learned not to take the little things for granted.
