Elisabeth Cotton will be at the CCPA (WOW Hall) with Mike Seeger on Satur
day, October 15th.
Elisabeth Cotton and Mike Seeger
at the WOW Hall Together
Elisabeth Cotton was born in
1893 in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina. When she was nine she
worked to earn money for her
own guitar. By age 11 she wrote
Freight Train, a song that just
about every folk singer now has
as part of her/his repertoire. She
and her brothers and sister
played and sang music together
and each would make up songs
to call their own. At age 15 she
was married, found work, and
put her guitar away. It was half a
century before she returned to it.
By coincidence, she met Ruth
Seeger and her husband Charles,
a noted folk scholar. She took a
job in their home and it was the
Seeger children, Mike and Peg
gy, who discovered “Libba's”
musical gifts and encouraged her
to perform in concert. She thus
began a new career in her mid
sixties accompanying Mike
Seeger and the New Lost City
Ramblers to the coffee houses
and folk festivals that blossomed
around the country in the late
fifties.
Mike Seeger has been the lead
ing performer-collector of rural
southeastern traditional music
and is known both as a soloist
and a founding member of the
vanguard old-time string band,
the New Lost City Ramblers.
His music is the homemade folk
or traditional music of mountain
farmers, mill workers and coal
miners of the rural southeast.
His songs range from unaccom
panied English ballads to moun
tain breakdowns, blues and early
American rural songs. He plays
fiddle, banjo, guitar, dulcimer,
mandolin, autoharp, jews harp,
pan pipes and harmonica. He
and Elisabeth Cotton will per
form at the CCPA (WOW Hall)
on Saturday, October 15 at 8:30
p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance,
$6 day of show. Tickets are
available at the WOW Hall,
EMU Main Desk (UO), Ballad
