Boogertown Gap band to be featured on public TV Show
Sevier County’s Boogertown Gap band will be featured when East Tennessee Public Television airs part three of “Creative License,” a new series featuring stoies about the arts, artist and art education in Tennessee.
The show will air Thursday at 9 p.m.
The episode will feature five distinct stories.
“Music On The Mountain” features Boogertown Gap and how they're working to preserve the country’s traditional folk tunes from the early settlers to the 1920s, before radio and the recording industry changed the art form.
“lt just filled a void, I think, that we had in us somehow culturally and spiritually, to the mountains, to the people, to the heritage of this area. And ever since that point, that’s all we’ve done,” said Keith Watson about his duo that
includes his wife, Ruth Barber.
The two use their banjo, guitar, and voices to keep the artistry of old time music alive. Their songs reflect a musical
history as unique as the mountain community that inspired the name of their band - Boogertown Gap.
The “Creative License' series is produced by the Renaissance Center in Dickson, a non-profit educational facility made up of Emmy and Peabody Award winning writers, producers, photojoumalists and editors.
