2021 North Carolina Awards: David Holt
Award-winning musician and storyteller David Holt has spent more than 50 years collecting and performing the traditional music of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Holt’s interest in music began during his childhood in Texas. After graduating from college, Holt moved to western North Carolina to pursue his growing interest in traditional music. While collecting the traditional music of the mountains, Holt discovered folktales and true-life stories, which he began integrating into his concerts.
In 1975, he founded and directed the Appalachian Music Program at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, N.C. Since 1981, Holt has pursued a full-time career in entertainment, bringing the spirit and fun of old-time music to the concert stage. His many recordings have garnered numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards in 2002 in the Best Traditional Folk Recording category for Legacy, a retrospective of the life of Doc Watson. As the host of several acclaimed television series, including Folkways and David Holt’s State of Music, he has introduced traditional mountain music, stories, people and places to viewers across the country and around the world.
