This will be Andy’s 18th year of bringing his own brand of rootsy music to MerleFest. Once again, he’ll perform his own sets and host three Acoustic Kids Showcases- with Andy May and one Acoustic Kids Ambassadors set.

MerleFest, which was founded in 1988 in Memory of Eddy Merle Watson, has a mission of celebrating “traditional plus” music:

The Music of MerleFest is “traditional-plus” and Doc Watson himself described it best: “When Merle and I started out we called our music ‘traditional-plus,’ meaning the traditional music of the Appalachian region plus whatever other styles we were in the mood to play. Since the beginning, the people of the college and I have agreed that the music of MerleFest is ‘traditional-plus’.”
