An Appalachian Renaissance?

While there have been several musicians bringing the "Appalachian style" of country music to the forefront of the genre, the viral success of some random guy just outside of the region in Virginia has pushed that envelop even further after appearing on RadioWV's social media pages. 

Thanks to musicians like Tyler Childers, Nolan Taylor, and Charles Wesley Godwin, stories that come from the Appalachian heart are connecting with people across the nation. They are touching on a plethora of social and socioeconomic topics. They are sharing OUR stories through the stories they put to music. 

Are we seeing an Appalachian Renaissance?
