Description:
The Wilderness Road Regional Museum presents a Do-Better Cottage Concert with Willard Gayheart and Ricky Cox on Sunday, March 24, 2024.

Join us for our next Do-Better Cottage Concert featuring Willard Gayheart and Ricky Cox performing "Old Favorites Duets" with music and stories. The charming Do-Better Cottage is the perfect place to enjoy the music and entertainment of these two good friends and accomplished musicians.

Willard Gayheart is a pencil artist and musician from Southwest Virginia. He is originally from Eastern Kentucky, working mostly from the theme "Nostalgic Glimpses of the Appalachians". His works are positive images of Appalachian Culture, presenting the region as a place alive with interesting personalities.

Besides his artistic talent with the pencil, Willard is also an accomplished bluegrass musician having played as a member of the bluegrass band The Highlanders. He not only picks the guitar and sings, but writes many of the songs himself. On one album, 5 out of the 10 songs were written by him. All the songs written by Willard reflect his experiences and love for the mountain way of life.
