What an amazing cast of musicians. The diversity of styles played on at least 25 different banjos.
Discovered two new favorite artists (The Old 78s and Evie Laden)

Bill Evans, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, Adam hurt, Evie Ladin, & The Old 78's were all excellent (not in order of appearance or degree of excellence)! This Festival was very well run, relaxed, and the players each added something different. I especially liked the explanations on the different types of banjos, the different sounds, and the difference in banjo/guitar playing. The artists all displayed their love for what they did; wish I could have attended a training session the next day!

The Old Time Banjo Festival at the Birchmere is one of our favorite annual events. Cathy Fink does a great job of bringing together some of the top banjo players in the country. We particularly enjoy hearing Adam Hurt. What a great talent he has become. The entire evening has such a warm feeling. It is clear that all the musicians are having a great time and that spreads to the audience. It is appropriate that the evening is in memory of the great musician and folklorist, Mike Seeger. We miss you Mike!
