Gates/concessions open at 4 pm
It's a one-day mini-festival honoring Mike Seeger (1933-2009), and admission is free. Lime Kiln Theater is offering the community this event to celebrate Mike's legacy.
4:15 - Bruce Clark & his Saw Mill Band--Mike's friend and local treasure Bruce just turned 90; he's as upright & graceful as ever and just as engaging on stage
5:30 - Backstep--from around Mt Airy, North Carolina, old friend Chester McMillian and two younger musicians with old roots carry on the great Round Peak tradition
6:45 - Jones & Leva--Carol Elizabeth and James are singing together again just for this occasion: dear friends well-known here and afar for their beautiful songs and sounds
8:00 - Slate Mountain Ramblers--a North Carolina family dance band with a distinctive driving, sparkling sound: Marsha Bowman Todd is one of the banjo players featured on Mike's last documentary project (now being finished by others), and Barbara Bowman calls figures.
