Fiddlers of Madison County

This annual concert featuring our county’s fiddlers has come to be a
“must-see” event. Where else could you find Grammy-award winners
and other talented musicians in an intimate setting at such a great
price? Grammy award winner Bobby Hicks is joined by Grammy
nominated Josh Goforth and other fiddlers’ award winners such as
Arvil Freeman, Roger Howell and Ralph Lewis & The Sons of Ralph.
Watch for tickets to go on sale at the Madison County Arts Council
website: http://madisoncountyarts.com and plan to spend a wonderful
evening in downtown Marshall at the Arts Center for this amazing
event.
