Earl Scruggs Music Festival 2023
Location: Tryon International Equestrian Center
Date: Sep 1-3, 2023
The 2nd Installment of Earl Scruggs Music Festival at Tryon International Equestrian Center couldn’t have been a better Labor Day Weekend. We had 3 amazing days of live music and perfect weather to accompany a festive crowd of music lovers. The festival honoring North Carolinas native Earl Scruggs brought many national, local, and international acts to the region. Performances included the Infamous Stringdusters, The Earls of Leicester, Del McCroury and the traveling McCrourys, Greensky Bluegrass, Emmy Lou Harris and many more. On the Saturday evening of the festival, Greensky Bluegrass did a fantastic tribute to Jimmy Buffets “Come Monday” who had recently past away earlier that Saturday morning. The festival was hosted by Jerry Douglas once again who set in with many artists throughout this special weekend. Here are some of the many acts that I caught at this years Earls Scruggs Music Festival.
