Appalachian & Celtic Music

Jack Hinshelwood

Jack began playing traditional music, much of it fiddle tunes, on the guitar in 1972. He won the Knoxville World’s Fair Guitar Championship, the Galax Fiddler’s Convention Guitar Contest and, in 1995, he won a handmade Henderson guitar for first place in the Wayne Henderson Guitar Championship. His recording “Dark Run” featured a wide variety of folk and traditional music as well as original compositions. Jack tours with New York Times Best Selling author Sharyn McCrumb, performing a program of Sharyn's writings and ballads to promote her Ballad Series novels. Together they have produced “If Ever I Return, Pretty Peggy-O”, a recording by Jack of Appalachian Ballads from Sharyn's novel by the same name. Jack plays guitar and fiddle with Celtibillies.
