JamsOnTheJames.com Presents:
An Evening of Old Time Music... featuring a Master of the Fiddle and Banjo –

Speedy Tolliver
with Mark Cambell on the fiddle, Jim Lloyd on guitar, and Al Firth on bass...

...also Country Blues with John Bradshaw, Nate Layne and Ron T. Curry

The Washington-area was a major hub during the Golden Era of country music from the 1930’s through the 1950’s, and Odell Roy “Speedy” Tolliver is a living link to this oft-forgotten legacy. As the winner at one of the legendary White Top Folk Festivals back in the 1930’s, Speedy’s talent was once widely-known beyond the musicians and scholarly circles that revere him to this day.
