Roots

Speaking of Fayetteville Roots, the NWA Democrat-Gazette recently reported that the Fayetteville Roots trio (Bryan and Bernice Hembree with Jerrmy Gawthrop) have plans to use the Walker-Stone House near the downtown square as a musical gathering space. While this is not the splendor that is the Roots festival, this space will be used for “a physical space for music, for musicians and music organizations to gather, to collaborate and organize, to share resources, to teach lessons and for professional development.”

Bernice Hembree told NWA Democrat-Gazette reporter Stacy Ryburn that the idea was inspired by Folk School of KDHX in St. Louis, founded in 2001. On its website, Folk School of KDHX says it offers “classes, jams, lessons and workshops for students of all ages, backgrounds, skill levels and interests.” Its mission is “to build community by providing educational programs that promote the learning, teaching, renewal, and perpetuation of traditional music and folk arts.” Hembree says that programming may start at the downtown Fayetteville house as early as spring.
