Program Description

Event Details

Join Blakeley Burger, Nadia Ramlagan, and Grace Rogers at the iconic Laurel Theatre to kick off an evening of old-time music by a new generation of women. 

Blakeley Burger is a nationally recognized fiddle virtuoso celebrated for her technical mastery and deep musicality. Blakeley teaches and performs across the U.S., sharing stages with artists from Michael Bublé to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Her work preserves Appalachian traditions while pushing the boundaries of contemporary fiddle performance.

Nadia Ramlagan grew up in Maryland where she immersed herself in local folk music such as Ola Belle Reed and her nephews, Hugh and Zane Campbell. 

Grace Rogers is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who grew up in a Bath County, Kentucky family steeped in old-time music. She first attended the Cowan Creek Mountain Music School at age 7 as a beginning fiddler and went on to learn guitar and banjo. 

This event is part of A Celebration of Women in Old-Time Music brought to you with support from the Tennessee Arts Commission's Arts Build Communities and the Friends of the Library.
