This is part 2 of the last week-ends events that I photographed, @balsamrange. For all of you that didn't hear the news. Appalachia was devastated by a flash flood a few weeks back. Rivers overflowed in the lowlands and houses were literally uprooted and were floating down the roads here in the mountains. Canton, North Carolina was hit the hardest. On Saturday, Amanda Anne Platt & @the_honeycutters, and Balsam Range, a band with countless Bluegrass Grammy's and awards, with the help of countless volunteers including @adamas_entertainment, @smokymountainnews, @wickedweedbrewing, @boojumbrewingco, @innovationbeer, as well as others, organized a benefit concert for the flood victims. Canton is a proud hard working blue collar paper town 15 minutes west of Asheville. Canton will rise again because people around here actually care about one another and it's not just lip service. #DarrenNicholson #BuddyMelton #MarcPruett #TimSurrett #CalebSmith #ZebSmathers #GenaBritt #Asheville #cantonNC #appalachianmountains #communitystrong https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLEDu1rdat/?utm_medium=tumblr
