Shawn Lane is a three-time GRAMMY Nominee and 28-time IBMA Award winner with supergroup Blue Highway.   A fan favorite vocalist, instrumentalist, and songwriter, Shawn co-founded Blue Highway and space-age I-Tone Picks.  Shawn is as explosive on fiddle as mandolin and guitar, and has often lent his talents to the GRAMMY winning Earls of Leicester.   Shawn has headlined shows with his family as Shawn Lane & Family in response to popular demand,  and also appears in the duo, Shawn Lane & Richard Bennett.  His newest ensemble Shawn Lane & Sons features harmony for miles with his talented sons Grayson and Garrett.

Carley Arrowood
3-3:30 PM Fiddle Workshop
4-4:45 PM Main Stage Performance

​Carley Arrowood is a native of western North Carolina, and a recording artist with Mountain Home Music Company. Her voice on the fiddle is forceful and bright, with her formidable technique and diverse musical vocabulary put to work in service to the piece. Years of study, natural ability, and the crucial component of finely-honed creative taste, make Carley’s approach to her instrument unique and uniquely powerful. Astute listeners will hear in her playing a masterful bluegrass fiddler from North Carolina, of course, but also the ancient tones of Celtic music, and the refinement of a symphonic and chamber musician.

The Foreign Landers
​
3-3:45 PM Main Stage Performance
​4-4:30 PM Mandolin Workshop with David Benedict

Mandolinist David Benedict grew up in South Carolina while Tabitha Agnew Benedict started playing 5-string banjo at a young age in her  homeland of Northern Ireland. They spent their early years playing the same music, gazing at the same stars, yet still so far away from each other. But today Tabitha and David are carving their own path in the acoustic music world together, drawing on their unique international heritage to create something new.

Sweet Potato Pie Kids
​2-2:45 PM Main Stage
3:45-4 PM Side Stage

The Sweet Potato Pie Kids are the performing band for the Young Appalachian Musicians.  We love highlighting their talent and their growth in our program at the Winter Bluegrass Jubilee.  

The Wilder Flower
​1-1:45 PM Main Stage
​2:45-3 PM Side Stage

The Wilder Flower is an all-female Trio from Pickens SC & Brevard NC. Growing up in the thick of bluegrass and old time, they all started at the age of 8. Between the YAM program & supportive parents, they have been pushed to stages like the IBMA, Merle Fest, and America's Got Talent. In 2021 they met at the South Carolina Fiddling Championship hosted by the Hagood Mill Historic Site, where Madeline took the State Championship in fiddle, Molly placed first in banjo, and Danielle placed first in guitar. They now come together with a tasteful twist on their old time roots: Molly plays an intriguing combination of Scruggs & clawhammer style, Danielle is always in the process of songwriting, & Madeline's nostalgic fiddling harnesses some of her favorite Irish & Jazz tunes. They are excited about how their music is growing with their imaginative melodies & 3 part harmonies.
