Over ten years ago, author, fiddler and researcher Harry Bolick began a labor of love, tracking down every last bit of Mississippi fiddling history and music. Internet detective work, combined with thousands of miles driving to remote parts of the state for interviews, has produced his second book documenting the tradition, “Fiddle Tunes from Mississippi, Commercial and Informal Recordings 1920-2018.”

Author and fiddler Harry Bolick, with guitarist Jacques DiCroce, will celebrate his new book with tales and some of these tunes from the dawn of country music. Copies of the book will be available. Photos of the source musicians will be projected. Elegant posters of the period.
