East Tennessee Fiddling
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 be for sale at the door for $12.

The Laurel Theater is located on the corner of 16th and Laurel Avenue in the historic Fort Sanders neighborhood of Knoxville near the UT campus. For additional information, call (865) 522-5851, e-mail concerts@jubileearts.org, or visit www.jubileearts.org.
