Fiddler Michael Cleveland is the reigning King of the Mountain when it comes to bluegrass fiddling. The six-time Fiddler of the Year, Cleveland, who made his debut on the Grand Ole Opry at age 13, is a powerful and creative instrumentalist whose bluesy fiddling echoes past greats like Chubby Wise, Benny Martin, Howdy Forrester and Scotty Stoneman. Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, the two-time Instrumental Group of the Year, is one of the hottest bluegrass bands in the country. Hear them live on Sunday afternoon.
Legendary banjo player and singer Ralph Stanley is one of the Founding Fathers of bluegrass. He’s been on the bluegrass road since 1946, and has influenced generations of musicians with his lonesome mountain tenor voice, distinctive banjo picking and several original songs that have become bluegrass standards. He and the Clinch Mountain Boys will close the Main Stage on Sunday.
