Fiddlin’ Earl White received his first fiddle in 1975, and went on to become a prominent figure in the old time music and dance community for more than 45 years. He is one of the few Black Americans playing and perpetuating the music that was once an important part of black culture and black communities across the US.

He is an original and founding member of the Greengrass Cloggers. Earl’s energetic, rhythmic, driving style is attributed to many years of dancing with the Cloggers to the music of Tommy Jarrell, the Highwoods Stringband, the Plank Road Stringband, and the Horseflies, to name a few. His fiddling is as heartfelt as his dancing of earlier years.

This is a free Public Event: All are invited and encouraged to attend.
