# Eddie Bond & the New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters

Eddie Bond is a 2018 National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship honoree. In this concert he plays Old-time Appalachian fiddling he learned growing up in Virginia with the New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters. The Bogtrotters are staples at Galax-area community dances and gatherings and frequent first-place winners at the Old Fiddlers' Convention, where Bond himself has won countless fiddle contests and twice been named Best All-Around Performer, arguably the highest honor in old-time music.
