The
New
Agrarians
Songs
and
Stories
from
the
Southland
featuring
Tom
Kimmel,
Kate
Campbell
and
Pierce
Pettis
Their
current
tour
showcases
stories
and
music
steeped
in
the
cultural
foundations
of
the
South.
The
trio’s
name
is
inspired
loosely
on
the
Southern
Agrarians,
a
collection
of
literary
figures
of
the
early
20th
Century
which,
among
other
things,
bemoaned
what
they
viewed
as a
threat
of
modernism
to
the
Southern
Culture.
The
group
was
originally
known
as
the
Fugitive
Poets
and
included
the
likes
of
Robert
Penn
Warren
and
John
Crowe
Ransom.
The
Agrarians
were
given
rise
from
Nashville’s
Vanderbilt
University
and
their
movement
was
launched
in
response
to
criticisms
of
the
Southern
way
of
life
raised
by
H.L.
Mencken.
