The Floyd Country Store presents Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper in concert on Sunday, June 18, 2023. Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper is based in Indiana and has been awarded the International Bluegrass Music Association's (IBMA) 4-Time Instrumental Group of the Year led by 9-Time IBMA Fiddle Player Michael Cleveland. Considered one of the premier bluegrass fiddlers of his generation, Mike Cleveland picked up a fiddle at age four, and his talent was recognized early. In 1993 he was chosen to be part of the Bluegrass Youth All Stars at the IBMA's award show. Later that year Mike made his Grand Ole Opry debut as a guest of Alison Krauss. His list of guest appearances over the years is a who's who of bluegrass legends including Bill Monroe, Jim and Jesse, Ralph Stanley, Mac Wiseman, Doc Watson, Larry Sparks, Doyle Lawson, and J.D. Crowe. After high school Mike briefly toured with then-named Dale Ann Bradley and Coon Creek before joining Rhonda Vincent and The Rage in 2000. At the 2001 IBMA awards, Mike took his first Fiddle Player of the Year award, and shared the title of Entertainer of the Year with Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. He’s lent his skills to two Grammy-winning albums, and his most recent project with Flamekeeper, On Down the Line, is at the top of the bluegrass charts for 2015. Other members of Flamekeeper include talented musicians Nathan Livers, Tyler Griffith, Joshua Richards and Cody Looper.
