FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WINNERS OF 2018 MIKE AULDRIDGE INSTRUMENTAL CONTEST ANNOUNCED
December 10, 2018 – The winners of the 2018 Mike Auldridge Instrumental Composition Contest are:
1st The Golden Angle by David Benedict of Cambridge, MA
2nd Duckpin by Brad Kolodner of Baltimore, MD
3rd Boardwalk by Tristan Scroggins of Nashville, TN
Honorable mention: Sandridge by Corrina Stephens of White's Creek, TN
Their original compositions can be heard here. We congratulate the winners and thank our judges, Gabe Hirshfeld, Ira Gitlin and Mary Burdette, for their time and talents.
The contest honors the life and musicianship of one of America's greatest bluegrass players. Mike's smooth and effortlessly tasteful Dobro guitar work borrowed from Josh Graves, but added swing, blues and horn influences to arrive at a uniquely new sound. By the time Mike co-founded the Seldom Scene in 1971, his musical touch was unmistakable – and over the next 40 years Auldridge became a pillar of Washington bluegrass history.
Proceeds from the competition help fund the DC Bluegrass Union, a nonprofit, member organization dedicated to promoting bluegrass music in the greater Washington, DC area through performance and education.
