Journalist and photographer Stephanie Ledgin has released her latest book, Discovering Folk Music. Ledgin is a former board member of the International Bluegrass Music Association. In addition to directing folk festivals, running radio shows and writing extensively about bluegrass and other forms of roots music, she has created a considerable collection of photos depicting music performers.
Discovering Folk Music includes interviews with Jean Ritchie, Woody Guthrie’s daughter Nora Guthrie, Tom Paxton and others. After a stint at the Folk Alliance Conference February 17-19, Ledgin will be making several book-signing stops in her home state of New Jersey during March and April and will also be in Pennsylvania.
