Additions to the MerleFest 2016 Lineup!
Old Crow Medicine Show
Playing Friday


Old Crow Medicine Show got its start on the streets, busking in New York and up into Canada, winning audiences one street corner at a time. In Boone, N.C., the band caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy, and Old Crow's subsequent all-star performances at MerleFest helped jumpstart its career.

Alison Brown
Playing Thursday & Saturday


Acclaimed as one of today's finest progressive banjo players, you'll rarely find Alison Brown in a conventional bluegrass setting. With her new Compass Records project, "The Song of the Banjo," and a 2015 IBMA Distinguished Achievement Award behind her, this Grammy Award-winning musician, composer, producer and entrepreneur has planted another flag in her ongoing journey of sonic exploration.
Peter Rowan

Playing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday


Grammy Award winner and six-time nominee, Peter Rowan is a singer-songwriter with a career spanning over five decades. From his early years playing under the tutelage of Bill Monroe, to his time in Old & In the Way, to his breakout as a solo musician and bandleader, Rowan has built a devoted, international fan base through a solid stream of records, collaborative projects and constant touring. 
Doug Seegers

Playing Friday & Saturday


Discovered on the streets of Nashville by a Swedish country star, 62-year-old singer-songwriter Doug Seegers grew up on the hard-country sounds of Hank Williams and ended up living the kind of rough life that country songs have always immortalized.
(More announcements coming soon!)
