Connect2Culture and the Joplin Convention & Visitors Bureau announced the second annual Fiddlers on the Route Festival at a press conference on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at 10:30am inside Joplin Memorial Hall (212 West 8th Street, Joplin, MO 64801).

This will be the second year of the Fiddlers on the Route Festival. Fiddlers on the Route is a festival featuring two days of outstanding musical performances.

Friday, June 22, 7:30pm (doors 6:30pm): Dailey & Vincent
Grand Ole Opry Members, Five-time GRAMMY® award winners individually, three-time GRAMMY® award nominees collectively, four-time DOVE Award winners, and winners of 35 IBMA Awards altogether (including 3-time IBMA Entertainer of the Year Award winners and 3-Time Vocal Group of the Year Award winners), Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent, backed by one of the best bands on tour today, are some of the most reputable and elite entertainers in American music; bluegrass, traditional country and gospel music. Now on Season 3 of their nationally broadcast television series, “The Dailey & Vincent Show on RFD-TV,” Dailey & Vincent bring their music to a national audience on a weekly basis. After a decade spent performing together and with over 1,000 airings of their PBS special “Dailey & Vincent ALIVE – In Concert,” their concoction of fantastically instinctive vocal blends of Dailey’s tenor and Vincent’s reedy harmonies has gained them well-deserved praise for their own distinctive style and worldwide recognition as American Music gold. Their most recent live CD, “Dailey & Vincent ALIVE,” debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass charts and remained at the top position for over 15 weeks.
