POLK COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — Country legends and bluegrass stars top the lineup for this year’s Earl Scruggs Music Festival in Polk County.
Headliners include Tanya Tucker and Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives, along with Old Crow Medicine Show and Yonder Mountain String Band and a dozen other musical acts.
Held annually at Tryon International Equestrian Center, Scruggs Fest has quickly become a beloved tradition among fans of Earl Scruggs, the three-finger banjoist who pioneered one of the most popular musical techniques in history.
