Award-winning fiddler Michael Cleveland
brings dynamic traditional bluegrass to the
J.E. Broyhill Civic Center stage with his award¬
winning band, Flamekeeper and special guest
Dale Ann Bradley, in a show that will leave the

An eight-time winner of the International
Bluegrass Music Association's Fiddle
Performer of the Year award, Mike and his tal¬
ented band present a program of tight vocal
trios and duos, blistering instrumentals, and
fiddle-and-banjo duets that echo the first-gen¬
eration stars of bluegrass. The show' is rounded
out with Mike's div wit and the band's sense of
fun.
Considered one of the premier bluegrass fid¬
dlers of his generation, Mike picked up a fiddle
at age four, and his talent w'as recognized early. In 1993 he was chosen to be part of the
Bluegrass Youth All Stars at the IBMA’s award show'. Later that year Mike made his Grand Ole
Opry debut as a guest of Alison Krauss. His list of guest appearances over the years is a who’s
who of bluegrass legends including Bill Monroe, Jim and Jesse, Ralph Stanley, Mac Wiseman,
Doc Watson, Larry Sparks, Doyle Lawson, and J.D. Crowe.
After high school Mike briefly toured with then-named Dale Ann Bradley and Coon Creek
before joining Rhonda Vincent and The Rage in 2000. At the 2001 IBMA awards, Mike took
his first Fiddle Performer of the Year award, and shared the title of Entertainer of the Year
