The Pressley Girls - Bluegrass, Mountain, original
Old Courthouse When the Pressley Girls take the stage of the on the Square at 7:00 PM on Friday, June 20, they will have been graduated from high school for one week. These two little girls who have been performing with their family band since they were literally toddlers have become beautiful young women. They are both recipients of merit-based scholarships and music scholarships for college.
The girls, affectionately known as Chitter and Chatter by their family, have always had their love for all things Appalachian, especially music, nurtured by by their family. Their grandfather, Jerry Wilson, was a member of the Wilson Brothers who received the North Carolina Freedom Foundation award for their music. Hopefully, “Pap” will join them for their concert at the Old Courthouse. Their uncle, Paul Wilson, has always been their mentor and adds lead guitar to their group. Their Mama, Tipper Pressley, plays bass guitar and has a very popular blog, The Blind Pig and the Acorn, about life in Appalachia.
Both girls sing. Corie plays guitar, and Katie plays fiddle, piano, mandolin, and guitar. They perform many old mountain songs as well as personal and family compostions. They live in nearby Brasstown, NC.
