Healing Appalachia

This year, Healing Appalachia was held in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky. Tyler Childers and Christ Stapleton headlined in their homestate alongside a stellar line up of talent. The event is hosted by Hope in the Hill, a sponsor of this years Festival of the Mewz and supporter of WMMT. If you were wondering, as some may, events of this magnitude require a professional photographer, who signs a lot of release forms. This year, for reasons not disclosed to the press, we were denied access to photograph Stapleton and Childers.

Earth Warriors focus on saving the planet one event at time by raising awareness, hosting clean ups and working the community garden among other activities.
