RiddleFest is produced annually by Traditional Voices Group as a tribute to Lesley Riddle, an African-American musician from Yancey County NC, who had a great influence on the development of early country music through his association with A.P. Carter and the Carter Family.
RiddleFest is sponsored in part by Burnsville Travel and Tourism/Explore Burnsville and Town of Burnsville. Clark’s appearance in Burnsville is sponsored in part by South Arts, which is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
