Alan Jabbour

Alan Jabbour (http://www.alanjabbour.com) documented and learned from Southern old-time fiddlers in the 1960s. Fiddlers like Henry Reed of Glen Lyn, Virginia, and Tommy Jarrell of Toast, North Carolina, provided him with a rich repertory of tunes as well as models for Southern fiddling style. His band, the Hollow Rock String Band, became pioneers in the revival of old-time Southern string band music that began in the 1960s and continues today.
