We sat down with West Virginia's folk singer/songwriter Andrew Adkins while he performed "Burning the Tires Off," in this intimate set performed on his own front porch. This folk ballad recounting his first vehicle, a 1969 Chevy truck his father gifted him at the age of 14, radiates with nostalgia of childhood youth, American industrial spirit, and the father-son relationship.

"My first love came in pieces, my daddy bought her for me, '69 revisited, 1993," Adkins sings.

This video was made possible by the Appalachian Folk Festival Livestream, an online music festival featuring a dozen incredible folk artists pickin’ their banjo music from all across the Appalachian region. Tune in on Facebook June 20th starting @ NOON where you can see Andrew as well as other talented musicians throughout these hills. 🪕 🎶
