    The Arts Center of Cannon County presents old-time banjo master and showman Leroy Troy and the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band. Leroy Troy delivers a strong old-time banjo performance in the tradition of Uncle Dave Macon, Grandpa Jones and Stringbean. At 16 he began studying with Middle Tennessee banjoist Cordell Kemp who had in turn learned much from Macon himself; at 17 he dazzled a nationwide audience on the hit TV show Hee Haw with his banjo expertise and natural gift of comedy. 

    Leroy Troy started playing the festival circuit in 1982, with the Bailes Brothers. His vocals, banjo-picking, down-home humor and special instrumental acrobatics have made him well-known in festivals and concerts in the Southeast. Songs are old-time and performed with a distinctive, dynamic energy. When you see the mastery in the way he handles the banjo you will understand why the instrument has become synonymous with Leroy Troy.

      We saw them at The Ryman, Station Inn, and a couple of times on Ernest Tubb's Midnite Jamboree. They and their band have exceptional talent. Anyone who likes Blue Grass and Country music will be very... Expand
