Mountain City Traditional Arts will present Mountain Music with a Country Flair by Loretta Hummel and Robert Broadwater on Friday, March 5 at 7 PM.  Long time residents of Mountain Maryland, the pair has been delighting regional audiences for many years.

Residing near Frostburg, Hummel is a singer and acoustic songwriter who has recorded and released several albums.  She plays guitar and performs a variety of country, gospel, and bluegrass music in the tri-state area.  Loretta Hummel has performed at the Berlin Music Festival, Burlington Apple Festival, and FSU Appalachian Festival, to name just a few venues.  In 2008, she participated in the Country Gospel Music Association conventions in Branson, MO and Shippensburg, PA.  More recently, she headed back to Branson to perform there in Fall, 2009.

Fiddler Robert Broadwater, of Lonaconing, picked up the fiddle as an adolescent and has been playing as much as possible ever since.  Over the years, Robert has played in multiple bands and performed for numerous square dances and social events.  Admission is free, but donations are much appreciated and help to ensure continued offerings at Mountain City Traditional Arts.

Located at 25 East Main Street, Frostburg, Mountain City Traditional Arts is a partnership of Folklore & Folklife Programming at Frostburg State University, the Allegany Arts Council, and FrostburgFirst: A Main Street Community.  For more details about any MCTA event or for general questions, call (301) 687-8040; email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
