Appalachian folklore has immortalized the legend of John Henry, the steel-driving man, through song, illustration and tall tales since the 1870s. Culling from the vibrant oral traditions of Appalachia, Steel Hammer incor- porates lyrics by 2015 Music Pulitzer Prize winning composer Julia Wolfe and text from American playwrights. The audience intimately surrounds a circular stage as the Bang on a Can All-Stars per- form. Performers take on wooden bones, moun- tain dulcimer, step dancing and complex patterns for stage tableaux as they explore the human impulse to tell stories through this quintessential American tale. oznashville.com
