94th Johnson County Old-Time Fiddlers Convention------
23-24 August 2019, Old Mill Music Park, Laurel Bloomery , TN
(Always the Friday and Saturday prior to Labor Day Weekend)
This now commonly called the "Laurel Bloomery Fiddlers Convention" since it has been held for the last 20 to 30 years (accounts vary) at the Old Mill Music Park in Laurel Bloomery (Johnson County), Tennessee. The first fiddlers convention was held in the Johnson County High School auditorium in Mountain City in 1925 and has since been held somewhere in the county every year since. G.B Grayson and Henry Whitter are alleged to have first met and formed their recording partnership at the 1927 Johnson County Fiddlers Convention. Henry Whitter already had established contacts in the fast growing recording industry according to some accounts.
