Oregon Art Beat
- American Roots Music Festival

- A native of Corvallis, Laura Weber, became a national fiddle champion at an early age. This became her ticket to Nashville with work as a well-regarded sideman for many country stars. But when she landed a gig with the late June Carter Cash, she didn’t bank on falling in love with June and Johnny Cash’s son, John Carter Cash. Now Laura Cash is an important keeper of the Carter-Cash flame, promoting the music of her in-laws and of American roots music in general. Art Beat goes to the American Roots Music Festival (organized by Steve Gehlen) to learn more about the legacy.
