The 2024 Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Concert Series continues with a concert on Thursday, March 7, at 7:00 p.m. with a performance by Tina Adair. The concert will be held at Athens State University in McCandless Hall.
The name Tina Adair has become synonymous with excellence as far as female vocalists in bluegrass music are concerned. Her family band, The Adairs, gave Tina her first introduction and exposure to the industry, and when Tina was just 17 years old, she signed a recording contract with Sugar Hill Records.
Adair’s first album, “Just You Wait and See,” was released in ’97 and produced by Jerry Douglas. The album featured such luminaries as Chris Thile, Bryan Sutton, Aubrey Haynie, Viktor Krauss, Charlie Cushman, Keith Little and Alan O’Bryant. The project was a success and garnered praise from radio and critics.
Tina is the first female lead to record and release for Engelhardt Music Group and is undoubtedly one of the most powerful, soul-bearing, and masterful female vocalists in the world.
Tickets for the show are $15 for adults/$5 for children and can be purchased by visiting www.TVOTFC.org.
