A look inside Appalachia Press ✨

We had the chance to sit down with John Reburn to learn the “why” behind his business. An artist with more than 25 years of experience, John spent much of his career in Los Angeles working as a graphic artist. Trained at Arizona State University and Otis Art Institute, his background in typography and graphic design eventually led him to explore the beauty and simplicity of old-school printing.

Tune in Sunday at 7 for a special Mothers Day storytelling program featuring moms telling stories of struggle and triumph. It was recorded live at 5 Points Music Sanctuary in Roanoke as part of a fundraiser for Huddle Up Moms, a local non-profit that provides supplies like diapers (no questions asked), education and support to families who need it the most. You might want to have a box of tissues handy!

Years ago, we traveled The Crooked Road, Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, to explore the sounds, stories, and communities keeping Appalachian music alive. From front porches to fiddles, this journey captured a piece of Southwest Virginia culture that still resonates today.

Take a trip On The Crooked Road with us and see why the music never stops in Virginia. 🎶 Full series here: https://youtu.be/AowGa0ITTe4?si=pMhqTCPtcncFNTcO
