Danny Roberts with The Grascals, kicking it old style at FiddleFest 2008 - photo by J. SlaughterFiddleFest is an annual bluegrass festival located quite near my home in Roanoke, VA. It’s held the last weekend of July each year on the bucolic campus of Hollins University, just north of Roanoke.

I was able to attend last Friday’s (7/25) show where I enjoyed music of Grasstowne, Jimmy Bowen & Santa Fe, The Bluegrass Brothers and Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys - and was flat blown away by my first live experience of Dailey & Vincent!

Jenny Slaughter, the official FiddleFest photographer, shared a number of images she captured at the festival, which we share with our readers forthwith.
