Rachel Johnson On The Pickin' Porch Show

Fans of Bluegrass music in the Bristol, VA-TN area are very familiar with the ultra-talented young lady featured in today's picture. Rachel Johnson has been thrilling audiences in our region and around the world for years now with her amazing fiddle work.

The audience at last night's Pickin' Porch Show received a special treat when Rachel took to the stage on two occasions. First, she helped out the fine Bluegrass-Gospel group Crosstrain on their final number, the wonderful old hymn "I'll Fly Away", and then she joined Pickin' Porch favorite Robby Spencer for an extended set that lasted for most of the second half of the show!

Rachel is one of the most accomplished fiddle players in the world today, and you can tell she really loves performing. She stays very busy traveling and performing with The Boohers while attending East Tennessee State University full time, but she still loves to grab her fiddle and bow and join in on a jam session every time she gets a chance.

We don't get to see Rachel sawing on her fiddle as much as we would like after the Tuesday night Bluegrass performances on State Street shut down for the winter, so her appearance on last night's Pickin' Porch was a real treat!
