December 15, 2019   |   3 pm @ Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church

Fire in the Kitchen performs at Sinking Spring Presbyterian Church in Abingdon, Virginia, at 3 p.m., Sunday Dec. 15. Students admitted free.

Playing a blend of Appalachian/old-time/flk and Celtic music since 2002, they have been sharing lively jigs and reels and beautiful airs and ballads to audiences all over the South. Based in Washington County, Virginia, Fire in the Kitchen’s sound is created by the hammered dulcimer playing of Tammy Martin, the bass and guitar skills of Teddy Helton and the sounds of the penny and low whistle playing of Debbie Shrewsbury.

They’ve performed for many well-known artists and at a variety of venues locally and regionally including Dollywood’s Festival of Nations, The Carter Family Fold, Bristol Rhythm ‘N Roots, The Blue Ridge Celtic Festival, and others. They have made three appearances on the PBS program "Song of the Mountains" filmed at the Lincoln Theater in Marion VA. The group has recorded three CDs and was honored to have their first CD, "An Appalachian Celtic Journey," archived in the Smithsonian Folk Life Museum in celebration of the Year of Appalachia. Their latest CD "Drive the Cold Winter Away" is a Christmas collection.
