Fiddleheads Coming to a Town Near You

America's Got Talent's popular bluegrass band, The Fiddleheads from Dahlonega, could be coming to a town near you as they embark on their first major tour. The band, made up of North Georgia State College and University students and grads, will make their first post-AGT appearance September 4 at the Kentucky Bluegrass Music Festival.

Despite wowing AGY audiences and judges Sharon Osborne and Howie Mandel, the Fiddleheads failed to make the AGT finals. After their elimination, the band's fans (aka Fiddlenation) clamored for more Fiddlehead music. Hence the tour and a new cd/dvd coming out soon.

"So get ready," said the band's bassist Trygve Myers this week in the Dahlonega Nugget. "We want to repay the fans with what they voted for - our music."

If you love the Fiddleheads as much as Dahlonega and Beyond does, you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Vote for the Fiddleheads

America's Got Talent, NBC's popular summer talent show, is giving the Fiddleheads, a homegrown Dahlonega bluegrass band, a second chance. And now you have the opportunity to vote for this 'funky' group as America's Top Talent on the show at 9 p.m. tonight.

The five-man band was brought back to the NBC show as a wild-card contender, after being voted off on July 13. The group's strong popularity with the audience and fans earned them this second shot.

"We're excited to show people what we do instead of last time where we went in a different direction," said bassist Trygve Myers, referring to their last performance when they went the L.A. way and performed a bluegrass Billie Jean. "This time you are actually going to get to see us....even if we do bad or good...we're going to be happy with what we do," Myers said in a Dahlonega Nugget interview.

The Fiddleheads, all graduates or students of North Georgia State College and University, are part of the rich bluegrass and country music tradition of Dahlonega and our first America's Top Talent contestant. Good luck Fiddleheads. Dahlonega is awfully proud of you.
