Pokey LaFarge incorporates elements of early jazz, ragtime, country blues, Western swing, and much more in his performances. Two of LaFarge’s albums have been named Best Americana Album by the Independent Music Awards.

Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn is a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds.

As previously announced, on November 29, 2018 The Lone Bellow, a Brooklyn-based band (now in Nashville) will perform at SCMC.  The Lone Bellow is known for their transcendent harmonies, serious musicianship and lively performances
