Boogertown Gap is Ruth Barber and Keith Watson, a wife/husband duo and sometimes band. They specialize in the music that was played and sung by early pioneers and settlers of the Great Smoky Mountains and vicinity. They share a love of the nature, culture, and history of the Great Smoky Mountains and of the music of their ancestors and descendants who lived here and helped shape this mountain folk music. Keith’s family has been in the Smokies for over 200 years!  They get their name from a local community in Sevier County where the Watsons settled in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
