 Dirk Powell Band – In Concert With Special Guest Riley Baugus - February 18-19, Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Dirk Powell is considered one of the world’s leading experts on traditional Appalachian fiddle and banjo. He has worked with both Sting and Jewel, but is probably best known for his collaboration on the soundtrack and performance in the movie Cold Mountain. His banjo playing can also be heard in Spike Lee’s Bamboozled and Edward Burns’ The Brothers McMullen.

This production is part of the 2006 Southern Voices Conference.

"His music is a hard-driving, exciting testament to his mountain heritage."
