Festival Musicians

Navigation

Among our most important benefactors, generous musicians from all over New England have donated their time to share their old-time, celtic, and bluegrass talents. If you speak with any of our performers, please let them know how much you appreciate their support of Richmond's annual festival.

The Richmond Blueberry Fiddle Festival is widely known as an all-day musical event for the whole family. Now we are taking this music to different locations throughout the year. Please visit our Directions Page to get addresses for future performances.

The Fiddle Contest provides lots of opportunity for surprise entertainment in addition to our scheduled performers. And there is always plenty of room for "jam" sessions . . .

2011 Musicians:

Deep Hole Road is a fun string band comprised of two couples: Sue & Phil and Nick & Sharon (Nick has been our esteemed festival emcee for these past few years). Sharon and Sue play the fiddle (and a couple of other instruments), Phil plays the guitar and banjo, and Nick says he plays whatever else is laying around. The gentleman also provide vocals. The foursome have been playing for open mics and benefits in southeastern New Hampshire and are currently working on a CD. We really enjoyed their performance last year.

Blueberry
Jammers - Young Tradition Showcase

The Blueberry Jammers are our most regular performers. The group is composed of the more advanced fiddling elementary and high school students of Immaculate Heart of Mary School (Richmond, NH).

IHM is a very small school and all the students from fifth grade through high school learn to play an instrument. Whether they have just started the once-a-week group lessons this year or have been playing for five or six years, these students will sing, dance, and play a variety of old-time American music for your entertainment. They are often joined by The Future Famous Fiddlers (the elementary school choir - grades 1-4 - and beginning fiddlers). The littlest ones always steal the show!
