28 - Bryan and Bernice Hembree, Smokey & the Mirror and Creators of the Fayetteville Roots Festival

Hey Hey NWA

Folk musicians Bryan and Bernice Hembree make up the duo Smokey & the Mirror and are the founders of the long-running Fayetteville Roots Festival. Zac and Peyton join them in their home for an incredible dive into folk music and the history of the festival, featuring music from the duo and a variety of other musicians throughout the show. Lastly, it wouldn’t be Hey Hey NWA without the boys making absolute fools of themselves, and of course they do with their inept knowledge of music history. Also, there’s a ghost story about sheep thieves.
