about

Kay Justice and Ginny Hawker grew up in the heart of the Southern Appalachian mountains. COME ALL YOU TENDERHEARTED includes a range of music; from the Primitive Baptist hymns "Here in the Vineyard" and "O Sing To Me of Heaven," to the Old Regular Baptist "Come All You Tenderhearted" to E.C.and Orna Ball's gospel song "Cabin on the Hill" to Hazel Dickens' "West Virginia, My Home."

The common threads that bind these songs are everyday life, love, death, and home. "When you are singing about these things," Ginny says, "it's healing."

Kay was born in McDowell County, West Virginia, which borders southwest Virginia. As a student at Clinch Valley College, in Wise, Virginia, she became acquainted with traditional Appalachian music. For years, she performed mountain ballads, blue grass, gospel and shape note hymns as a soloist and with groups.

Ginny grew up in a large, musical family in southern Virginia. At family gatherings, she heard and sang early bluegrass, gospel songs, and the unaccompanied hymns of the Primitive Baptist Church. She learned co read music and sing by ear when she was young.

Kay and Ginny met in 1986 while attending the Augusta Heritage Work shops in Elkins, West Virginia. At Augusta, Ginny and Kay discovered a common love and appreciation for traditional Southern Appalachian singing. They decided to join their musical talents and went on to perform at festivals and music workshops throughout the mid-Atlantic states, and in New York, Michigan, and California.
