The Dillards with Maggie Peterson
Congraulations to The Dillards for their 2009 induction into
the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame! From their early
beginnings in the Ozarks thru today, The Dillards have influenced
bluegrass, new grass, country, and even rock music. You can enjoy two
concerts during Mayberry Days - full of songs, stories and memories from
the Andy Griffith Show.
From the Byrds to Arlo Guthrie to Earl Scruggs and dozens of
recordings with the Dillards, Doug Dillard has become a major force
in bluegrass music. For over forty years, this virtuoso banjo picker has
toured the world, worked on feature films like Bonnie and Clyde, and
thrilled television audiences with his appearances on The Andy Griffith
Show. In the words of Mitch Jayne: this is 'what banjo picking is all
about'.
Together with his brother Rodney Dillard, they're all
keyed up about performing another year at Mayberry Days. Having performed
around the world, Rodney and his wife Beverly Cotton Dillard
understand the importance and values of family entertainment. Don't miss
your chance to see all these great entertainers during Mayberry Days and
you too will wish that life was like the Andy Griffith Show.
