Founded in 2016 by Tidewater Troubadour Bob Zentz and song historian Jeanne McDougall Zentz, PhD, The Ramblin Conrad Folklife Institute seeks to provide opportunities for all folk to explore the transmission of tradition among people, for people; to preserve documents, images, books, recordings, and other artifacts of folk production; and to unite people of all cultures by sharing and exploring our rich diversity while celebrating our commonality.
