Five year old Fiddlin' Carson Peters and the Rockhouse String Band provide entertainment for the growing audience at 6 PM prior to start of competitions. Here we see Carson performing "Squirrel Heads and Gravy" (yum) and "Cluck Old Hen". Later in the competitions Carson won "First Place, Youth Performance" for his fiddle tune "Whiskey Before Breakfast" (clip coming). Regular Rockhouse members here with Carson are Jamie Peters (guitar, Carson's dad), Rita Quillen (guitar), and Mike "ELWOOD" Elliott (clawhammer banjo). Other regulars not on stage were Kay Elliott (vocals) and Sara Fletcher Collins (Carson's fiddle teacher and a fine fiddler).
The Johnson County Old Time Fiddlers Convention has been held now for the 84th consecutive year in Johnson County and for the last 18 consecutive years it has been held at the Old Mill Music Park in Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee. It was held on August 21 and 22, 2009 and it is usually the same weekend that NASCAR comes to Bristol nearby.
