TDawg Presents is thrilled to bring you this most intimate of shows with two of the greatest flatpicking guitarists on this planet, Larry Keel & Jon Stickley! I'm thrilled to work once again with two of my favorite bluegrass buddies. The cherry on top is our favorite local songwriter, Ralph Roddenbery, gracing the stage to kick the night off. This will truly be a special night evoking energy from past HarvestFest as well as Hootenannies both Back Porch and Holiday. Larry Keel Experience was the first indoor show by TDawg (Productions) back in 1999.
Larry Keel is an award-winning innovative flat-picking guitarist and singer/songwriter hailing from Appalachia and currently residing in historic Lexington, VA. TDawg Presents has been blessed with working with him in many configurations and collaborations, including with Tony Rice, Vassar Clements, Big Daddy's Bluegrass Band, Curtis Burch, and Leftover Salmon. He has inspired and merged creative forces with some of the greatest artists in modern roots music such as Tyler Childers, Billy Strings, Greensky Bluegrass, Keller Williams and Sam Bush, to name a few.
Keel's songwriting integrates raw honesty and charming grit to create music filled with reality, imagination, imagery and vibe. He has written songs that have been recorded and performed by distinguished artists including Grammy-award winners Del McCoury and The Infamous
Stringdusters.

Jon Stickley is one of the most innovative flatpickers on the planet and every bit the perfect compliment to Larry Keel. Like Keel, Stickley is a true genre bending acoustic guitarist stretching across bluegrass, gypsy jazz, rock, and progressive acoustic music. When the timing is right, you'll find him on stage with the likes Billy Strings, Leftover Salmon, Sam Bush, and many more of that caliber.
“It’s not your father’s acoustic-guitar music, Instead Stickley’s Martin churns out a mixture of bluegrass, Chuck Berry, metal, prog, grunge, and assorted other genres—all thoroughly integrated into a personal style,” -Guitar Player Magazine.
=================
Ralph Roddenbery is a true Georgia gem. He is one of the most genuine, real yet simple songwriters I have ever known. Once you see him, solo/duo/band it doesn't matter, you're hooked. It's an honor to have him open this evening of amazing music.
