Following the reissue of the classic 1928 recordings of the Roane County Ramblers, 77-year-old Charlie McCarroll is a strong and powerful fiddler specializing in the repertoire of his father, the great Kingston fiddler Jimmy McCarroll, playing in a bluegrass style only slightly more modern. Charlie has been featured on WBIR’s Heartland Series and on WDVX’s Music of the Cumberland Trail. His vast storehouse of tunes, earned through diligence, in face-to-face interaction, is beginning to thrill and fascinate followers and students of old-time fiddling. He remains ever ready to put his breakneck, hard-driving facilities to the test. Charlie says, “Daddy played a little different than me. He never did learn none of that grass.” His band Charlie’s Ramblers includes Tony Thomas and Bob Fulcher.

Tickets (if available) will also be sold at the door the night of the event for $12.

Both jewelry and textiles were forms of transportable wealth that often served as markers of social position. While tribal lands and traditions have changed and evolved, Turkomen peoples continue to play an important role in the culture of Central Asia.
