The 4th Annual The Fiddlers of Madison County

For centuries, literally, folks have been following The French Broad River into Madison County to hear the finest in traditional music.  Cecil Sharp found ballad singers in Hot Springs, Bascom Lamar Lunsford searched over the hills and hollers for banjo players and buck dancers and anyone having a house party or a barn dance was hunting up a fiddler to liven up the festivities.  This tradition continues every Spring in downtown Marshall where our finest fiddlers come together for a concert to benefit The Madison County Arts Council.  On March 13 old favorites and new faces join together in jam packed performances of old-time tunes, Bluegrass classics, sweet harmonies and family togetherness.  This year’s show features Arvil Freeman with Bryan McDowell and Emma Best, Josh Goforth, Grammy Award winner, Bobby Hicks, Roger Howell, Adam Masters, Jake & Sarah Owen and The Sons of Ralph, featuring Ralph.  You can hardly get all of the folks in the doors to hear all of this music, so two shows will commence, one at 4:00 and the next at 8:00 pm at The Madison County Arts Center, 90 South Main Street, Marshall, NC.
