LINK IN BIO!!!
I started all of this because I wanted to be a photographer and produce meaningful bodies of work. As things have progressed, I think the most significant part of what I am doing is the podcast. I think that giving artist the opportunity to speak, in their own words, about what they do and why they do it is about the most powerful thing I can do for them.
Some of the people in this project, if they continue to master their craft, continue to attend to the business of music, will become well known. In the next ten years, some of these artists will be on the radio and at the top of playlists.
If you know a musician/singer/songwriter in the Appalachian region we should meet, hook us up!
If you would like to support this project on a monthly basis or a one time gift, check the Linktree in the Bio.
Thus far, this project has been made possible by a gift from Sara and Ron Johnson.❤️
Have you heard of Gothic Mountain Bluegrass? If not, you are about to! I spent the afternoon with from the mountains of VA and NC. Hearing and recording their music was amazing. The podcast is humorous, inspiring and educational.
One of the topics we discussed was the idea that in the recent past, it was not desirable to be from Appalachia. The good ole days were not that good for many. The idea of Appalachia has been largely romanticized.
The young adults of this band all left Appalachia, only to miss their roots. They all returned to embrace the life and music of their heritage. is evolving the sound and message of traditional Appalachian music in such a sophisticated way. They are doing so while living in the laurel hells of their parents, grandparents and great grandparents.
Give them a follow and listen on the Local Exposure playlist. Stay tuned for the podcast!

I’m here to tell ya, this Appalachian Music project is going to be a good one! Is it worthy of some corporate sponsorship? Yes. Would it make a cool documentary film? Sure would.
I’m running out of time. I don’t have it to spend convincing committees and people behind desks that this project is worthy of their attention and funding. I have to take what I have and get out there and do the work and find people ready to say, “Hell Yes!” I am collecting and assembling the shards and bones of what will become the artifacts of what music in Appalachia WAS in the 2020s. If that ain’t cool as s**t, I don’t know what is.
Freebie Alert!🚨
I started a Patreon account, however no one is jumping on board. So, f**k it, I am giving away access to digital versions of my books! Even sold out books! Go to the LinkTree in my bio for the links. Enjoy!
Since starting the Appalachian Music project, we have had an influx of new visitors and followers. That means it’s time for a re-introduction!
I am Ronnie Pettit, I make coffee table books, fine art prints and produce a podcast. I pick projects that I find interesting and meaningful then just go for it while living out of 1995 Suburban with my dog Hutt. I use vintage cameras and black and white film and develop the film myself before scanning to digital files.I do various odd jobs to keep gas in the truck while hoping that all this work will someday generate an actual income.
Thanks for stopping by and following our adventure! Make sure to visit the links in the Bio.
I am editing the podcast interview with . Stay tuned for a brand new podcast series,coming soon! I have been listening to his new album, Appalachian Blues, that will drop on 3/1. I will leave the professional reviews to those like , but I’ll say this…I listened to that album six times in a row! 🤩
Send those Appalachian musicians and songwriters my way! Hutt and I will soon set out to find, photograph and interview the people making music in Appalachia. For lack of a better name, maybe we should call it the Appalachian Music Discovery Tour? As this moves forward, I will also create a public Spotify playlist of all the musicians we interact with.🤙
If you know a person or organization interested in supporting this project, check the links in the bio or send a DM to discuss.
I am in the process of making new contacts so I can set up a loosely planned road trip to meet, interview and photograph musicians in the Appalachian region. If you know someone that might be a good fit for this project, hook us up! I am also looking for local jam/picking sessions and dive bars with live music. I plan to proceed without preconceived ideas about what is out there. I am not necessarily focusing on traditional or historical music in the region. Let’s GOooo!
Above is check him out and get ready for his new Album “Appalachian Blues” that will drop next month.

This young couple set out to Thru-Hike the Appalachian Trail in 2022. Fern put her animation business on hold. Gypsy quit his job and moved his belongings into the smallest storage locker he could find, hoping to figure out their future along the trail. They hiked north, completely unaware that a coming twist of fate would transform the Trail into a path to a new home and a new life in Maine. Gypsy however, carried a secret, only to be revealed on the last day of their hike on the summit of Mt. Katahdin

I am in a terrible debate with myself! Help me decide! I have camping reservations at Acadia NP this week. It’s probably 8 plus hours of additional driving. Part of me wants to blow it off and continue working on the ThruHiker project. I feel the need to start south before the hostels start closing for the season. The other part of me wants to go see the coast and eat a lobster. Still, I’m not here for my own entertainment, but to try to do a good job on the project. What day you people!!!! Sometime this afternoon I go one way or the other. Vote now! . #localexposuremagazine #analogphotography #appalachiantrail

This is the trail register on Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Each year, many people attempt to walk the 2k plus miles to the northern terminus in Maine. I plan to follow them and talk with them and photograph them and share with you why they do it. If you know someone attempting a Thru-Hike this year, let me know. Maybe I can meet up with them along the way. Stay tuned. This won’t be an easy project and much of the peopling will be outside my comfort zone. . #localexposuremagazine #appalachiantrail #storytellingphotography #analogphotography #filmphotography #appalachia #thruhike m
