| Description |
"This show is the dream show, the show of the year, for anybody
interested in any kind of acoustic music, strings, or fiddling. These
young folks are absolutely the future, but they're happening right now.
Bring your kids and watch their ears grow big and their eyeballs pop."
-Fiddle legend Darol Anger
