After jack
After Jack is a musical celebration of togetherness. Combine your most beloved musical memories with a foot-stomping string band and top it off with harmonies that spring straight from the soul of the mountains, and you’ve got After Jack.
After Jack hails from Ferrum, VA, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The all-female trio performs music from, and inspired by, the rich musical traditions of the region. Founding members Rachel and Emily Blankenship-Tucker met in 2010, while working as professional actors in a regional theatre company, The Blue Ridge Dinner Theatre, and its touring production, the Jack Tale Players. Much of their ongoing work as performers is focused on celebrating the oral traditions of the Blue Ridge region through dramatizations of traditional folklore and songs. In 2011, this served as a catalyst for the creation of After Jack and continues to be the foundation for their current work.
