Summer Music Series - The Ghost Peppers

The Bryson City duo, The Ghost Peppers, will be performing on Thursday, June 12 from 7-8pm. They perform Appalachian music and original songs. One song they wrote is about the town of Judson in Swain County.

Lois Hornbostel is nationally recognized for her accomplishments in playing and teaching the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer, an instrument that was first played in the mountains since the early 1800s. She has written dulcimer books for Mel Bay Publications, and has organized weeks for dulcimer players at ASU, WCU and Warren Wilson College. Lois first came to Swain County in 1984, working for the Mountain Arts Program. She brought 30 student dulcimers into our local schools and taught our children for a week to play the dulcimer, making lasting friends with them.

Ehukai Teves has lived in Bryson City for 12 years. He and Lois are married. Ehukai, who is an award winning songwriter, was born in Hawaii into a musical family. From his early years he has played many instruments and performed. He fell in love with the Appalachian Dulcimer in Hawaii, when he was completing a B.A. degree in Vocal Performance & Music Theory. He met Lois at a dulcimer festival she was directing, and they have been musical partners ever since.

Come hear their lively music!
