The 2010 National Heritage Fellowship Concert and Celebration

Each year, the National Endowment for the Arts recognizes citizens for their contributions to our nation’s traditional arts. On this Thanksgiving weekend, we’ll join the 2010 honorees, recorded live in concert from Washington, D.C., including bluegrass bandleader Del McCoury, Ghanaian drum master Yacub Addy and fiddler Jim “Texas Shorty” Chancellor. Plus music and words from an array of past and present National Heritage Fellows, from Doc Watson to John Lee Hooker.
