The Stuart Brothers to play The Strand
Appalachian fiddle and banjo duo The Stuart Brothers will perform at 7:45 p.m. Jan. 16 at The Strand at 38 Main in Waynesville.
Their family musical roots are deep: their great-grandfather was the legendary fiddler Rev. Henry King and their great uncle, the banjoist and singer Austin Stamey. The brothers learned some of the oldest regional fiddle and banjo styles from masters such as the Smathers Family, Byard Ray, Oscar “Red” Wilson, Gordon Freeman and the Sutton family. They formed their first band in junior high and played for local clogging teams, local functions and fiddlers’ conventions. Since then they have toured extensively throughout the United States and several foreign countries, teaching and performing at major festivals and music camps.
Tickets are $12 per person.
