Our friends Dr. DePriest and Dr. Darensbourg were in studio yesterday to play some live cane flutes and talk #Indigenous musical regional history and theory.

They wrote this article together a couple months ago!

We have several rivercane Cherokee baskets in our collection (as well as baskets made of oak and maple -- more modern substitutes), including this beauty that dates from the mid-to-late 19th century.
