The North Carolina Folklife Institute recently featured the girls on their Youtube channel.
During the video the girls offer examples of three different types of Appalachian music: gospel, fiddle tunes, and traditional songs that have been passed down through the generations.
I hope you enjoyed the video! The girls are honored to be part of the NC Folklife Institute’s series Folklife from Home.

Bliss.
I know you are so proud of these girls!! They are excellent musicians and sing beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this video and sent it to my girls who are also talented singers. (I wish they had practiced piano and violin when they were younger! They were interested, just not enough to practice!)
They deserve recognition….they are very talented and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their mission of carrying on folk music of the mountains..
It was so wonderful to see your dear girls featured! I enjoyed this so much today. Much love and many blessings to all of you from us.
Two very beautiful and talented girls! I enjoyed the video very much.
This was so uplifting. “In the Garden” is one of my favorite hymns, and it brought tears to my eyes. They are talented young ladies! This blog is a real day-brightener!
Thoroughly enjoyed that!
Very much enjoyed hearing the girls talk, and music this morning!
They are beautiful and talented young ladies. I read your blog every day and enjoy it all.I live in upper East Tennessee. Thank you all! Great job
Me and my 6 year old daughter are watching this morning and love it! She calls In the Garden the Andy song…Andy walks with me Andy talks with me. Haha. Your family is such a blessing to us
Lovely way to start off this Sunday morning.
The Pressly girls are a pleasure to listen to.
Would love to see them have more music videos.
Watched an Amazon prime Movie last night called”‘Mountain Minor’. The storyline and music is pure applichian.
I needed those clear young voices this morning and those smiling chinkapin eyes. Lovely. Thanks ladies and congratulations on being featured in Folklife.
Good job! I’m so very proud of my granddaughters. Their talent speaks for itself and they are carrying on the long family tradition of of music. Sometimes when I hear them sing and play I think of Pap and how proud he would be that they are carrying on his tradition and love for our folk music!
