about

On the night of September 27th, 2024, winds and rain roared through Western North Carolina as Hurricane Helene arrived with unforeseen force.

Marshall, North Carolina, an artist's haven in the mountains, watched as the river broke over the railway and started running its way through town.

These early swells quickly grew into a relentless surge, and the river rose like a beast awakening from a century-long slumber. By dawn, the town was swallowed in murky waves, the water curling through streets, sweeping through doorways, shattering windows, and consuming whole buildings.

The Old Marshall Jail stood strong with the flood gauge mounted to the side of the building. It kept a watchful eye on the flood level as the water ripped through it from floor to ceiling - 27 feet - higher than ever recorded. While some structures were washed away entirely, the rest now stand as empty shells.

Today the town of Marshall is rebuilding, but the journey will be long.

The Resonance Sessions is a powerful collection of live recordings featuring 35 regional musicians, captured in the weathered shell of the Old Marshall Jail. Recorded over four days and born from the shared experience of surviving a devastating storm, these sessions hold a heartfelt intimacy as each artist, deeply rooted in Western North Carolina, brings forth a raw, local perspective on resilience through their music.

Each session was captured live in the recently cleaned out stairwell of the Old Jail. The audio from each performance reverberates through the space in a hauntingly beautiful way. Room mics captured the jail’s natural acoustics as well as the ambient sounds of Marshall. The rumble of tractors and passing military convoys layered a heavy sense of place into each track.

The project represents a labor of love, grief and resilience, performed, recorded, filmed and produced by Western North Carolina artists.
