The Blue Ridge Music Trails is an initiative led by the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership and the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources. It is a multi-partner initiative: stakeholders include the arts councils and tourism agencies as facilitators and the music venues, event organizers, musicians and dancers on the front lines. It aims to create a thriving environment for the rich music heritage and traditions of the region to support musicians and residents and share traditional music experiences with visitors to raise interest in the authentic music of the region. In October 2018, Jackie Ellis spoke to Angie Chandler, Executive Director of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area, and Laura Boosinger, Executive Director of the Madison County Arts Council and the case recounts their insight on this initiative.
