UPDATE 4/29/2009
Nashville's Mike Farris, a standout in last year's lineup will be performing in Georgia on Friday and Saturday night, and has agreed to come over the festival to make a guest appearance around midday. He'll be performing solo as well as performing a couple of songs with the Crosstie Walkers.
The event is held each year to bring great musicians to the rural South, as well as pay tribute to country blues legend McTell, a Thomson native son, born and buried in the Happy Valley area of McDuffie County.
The small town feel and exceptional quality of the music presented year in and year out, makes the McTell Festival a special event indeed.
