Blue Darlin’ brings the warmth and soul of traditional Appalachia to life. Julius Bjornson (fiddle) and Jessica Bellaire (banjo) bonded over their love for old tunes and traditional harmony singing when they met at a festival in rural West Virginia. Now, they share that connection with audiences, bringing a mix of timeless country songs, generations-old Gospel tunes, and contemporary interpretations of "Old Time" Appalachian fiddle tunes to the stage.

Upcoming series of short documentary videos and interviews with the legends of Florida's old-time scene... stay tuned!
