DOUG DILLARD MEMORIAL
CONCERT Friday, September 27, 2013 Join the Surry Arts Council for tribute concert to one of the finest banjo pickers in the world. The lineup will be announced later in the year, but will certainly be a great night of bluegrass music. Doug Dillard was a cornerstone of Mayberry Days, having performed at every festival through 2011. We will all miss his ability to light up a room with his grin and his banjo playing. The concert will feature music and stories from cast members and musicians who all called Douglas Flint Dillard a friend. From the Byrds to Arlo Guthrie to Earl Scruggs and dozens of recordings with the Dillards, Doug Dillard was a major force in bluegrass music and member of the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. For over fifty years, this virtuoso banjo picker has toured the world, worked on feature films like Popeye and Bonnie and Clyde, and thrilled television audiences with his appearances as Doug Darling of the Darling Family on The Andy Griffith Show. In the words of Mitch Jayne: this is 'what banjo picking is all about'. |
