Live Traditional Appalachian and Bluegrass Music performed on Hammered Dulcimer, Appalachian Dulcimer, Fiddle, Bluegrass Banjo, Guitar, Strum Stick, and more. Brett & Serenity Ridgeway will perform on these traditional American instruments playing an eclectic mix of bluegrass, mountain ballads, and celtic music whilst mixing the history and heritage of these instruments into the songs. This can be a fun and fascinating hands-on program for everyone, young and old alike or just a great way to fill your evening campground with the music of the mountains! Come along, tap your toe, and enjoy the music!

It's such a treat when you share your infectious music with us at the Olde Time Fair. Your melodies add the perfect, old time atmosphere. Thanks so much for being generous with your time and talent...We look forward to having you again.

"I highly recommend the Ridgeway's program "Anyone Can Make Music". The children spontaneously began clapping in time to the music and later in the program, when the music was softer, they hushed one another's clapping so they were sure to hear the instruments. In addition, Brett Ridgeway did a very good job of weaving Civil War history and music together in an entertaining and memorable way.
The best testimonial for a program is if it inspires change. My daughter came home inspired and motivated to learn to play the mountain dulcimer that we have had hanging on our family room wall for years. She spent the evening learning Christmas carols rather than watching TV!"

Brett and Serenity Ridgeway gave a performance; they were very talented musicians. In addition, they were very easy to work with and adapted readily to each situation.
They kept the kids attention entertaining them with historical American works on the lap dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, fiddle, and banjo to mention a few. Everyone enjoyed the show!
The Ridgeways not only play the American folk instruments, but they also dress the part and give age-appropriate historical information as they go. I highly recommend Brett and Serenity they are an excellent duo.
