Event Details

CMT.com is reporting that legendary fiddler and former Bluegrass Boy Gordon Terry passed away on Sunday (4/9) after lengthy battles with multiple illnesses. We will post more information and any obituaries or tributes we find in the next few days.

UPDATE: Here is the tribute that ran in today’s Nashville Tennessean, and a brief report that has been carried by the Associated Press. Gordon’s hometown paper, the Decatur Daily, also carried a nice tribute yesterday.
