 “An Appalachian Evening” series will continue with a performance by Samantha Snyder at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24, in Lynn L. Shields Auditorium at the Stecoah Valley Center in Robbinsville. 

Snyder is a singer-songwriter and author from Lexington, North Carolina. Ever since she was three years old, music has been an integral part of her life.

From ages seven to almost 20, she was part of the Snyder Family Band, which recorded six albums, signed with two record labels and toured across the United States, including seven performances on The Grand Old Stage of Stecoah Valley Center.

During that time, Snyder discovered and developed her passion for songwriting, which she has pursued ever since. She also fell in love with traveling, seeing different parts of the world and meeting interesting people, all of which fed her lifelong habit and calling to be a storyteller.

She also teaches fiddle through her Samantha Snyder School of Fiddling and recently published a fantasy novel. Snyder hopes to preserve family history and heritage through farming and storytelling.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $10 for students grade K-12. Dinner will also be available for purchase in the Schoolhouse Cafe starting at 6 p.m.
