Carrying a tune: Tim O’Brien went from singing in church and school in West Virginia, to being a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of country and bluegrass music. His latest release, He Walked On, explores what it means to be American with intimate histories and stories told through eight new original songs and five carefully curated covers. On his song “Can You See Me, Sister?,” O’Brien speaks and sings about Sally Hemings and her children with Thomas Jefferson. In addition to his evening performances, O’Brien is teaching a two-hour workshop for songwriters, guitar players, and mandolin players.
