FEATURED PERFORMERS
DAVID VIA & CORN TORNADO
David Via, of Patrick County, Virginia, is known in bluegrass circles as among the best and most prolific songwriters with chart-topping songs for artists including Ronnie Bowman, Dede Wyland, and Larry Keel. A gritty singer, mandolin and guitar player, Via displays an allegiance to the working-man’s aesthetic found in the music of Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash. His Bluegrass in The Gap performance reunites Via with original Corn Tornado members Danny Knicely and Fiddlin' Dave Van Deventer..
THE CARROLL COUNTY RAMBLERS
The iconic Maryland family band— playing old-time bluegrass for six decades—is still going strong, revealing the roots and essence of Bluegrass music.
KARMA CREAK
This up and coming quartet of young and talented muscians explores the genre from down-home traditional to progressive interpretations, along with their own compositions.
