We are very excited to have Matt Downer this Saturday.
He will be conducting a Fiddle Workshop from 5pm - 6pm as well!
Matt Downer, from Chattanooga TN, performs traditional old time music on fiddle, banjo and guitar. Growing up on Sand Mountain, AL, he learned to play music from his grandfather and the elder musicians of the area. A veteran performer, he has played at various venues and festivals including - Tivoli, Nightfall, Riverbend and the International Stringband Festival, performing with
legendary artists such as - Carolina Chocolate Drops, Pokey Lafarge, Jack Rose, Michael Hurley and Norman Blake.
His most recent album was recorded without electricity, directly to wax cylinders, on a 1906 Edison Gramophone at the MTSU Center For Popular Music.
A performance by Matt is a trip back in time to the "good old days" of early American music.
Showtime 7:00pm, $10 cover and
Fontana Stinson will have the restaurant open - call for dinner reservations 256-634-3001
