The MerleFest Archives: Preserving more than 30 years of Music, Moments, and Memories
4th Floor Atrium
2023-2024
MerleFest is an annual music festival that celebrates "traditional plus" music. The festival was founded in 1988 in memory of Eddy "Merle" Watson, son of Doc and Rosa Lee Watson. In December 2020, Appalachian State University Libaries' Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) received the MerleFest Archives, and this exhibit provides a snapshot of some of the materials that are part of the MerleFest Archives.
