Looking forward to beautiful early fall days at the Annual Hoppin’ John Fiddlers’ Convention Thu, Sep 12-Sat, Sep 14! Planning has begun, and they are working to bring you another great year of the unique blend of old-time fiddlers’ conventions and traditional music festival that has become Hoppin’ John. They are honored to welcome Jerron Paxton to the Friday night concert stage, plus showcases focusing on gospel (with Alice Vines & Melody Harper and Jake & Sarah Owen!), the music of Charlie Poole and the Field Recorders Collective. They are also delighted to announce the return of the Hoppin’ John Cook-Off! Stay tuned throughout the summer for workshops, showcases, dances, contests, and family activities. Hosted by Shakori Hills Community Arts Center.
