Descend has been welcomed into the Rim Country by the sound of fiddle music for more than 40 years. This year will be no peculiar. The 41st Annual Old Time Fiddle Festival is Saturday, Sept. 24 and Sunday, Sept. 25 at the Payson Experience Center.

Before the fiddlin’ fireworks start, a out of the ordinary Old Time Opry concert is planned at 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 23 at the Payson Considerable School Auditorium.

About The Desert Sons

The Desert Sons organized in 1989 as Darrel’s Friends with Darrel Yarbrough playing bass, John Ryberg on tempo guitar and Benny Young on fiddle.

While playing at an open assembly at the Western Music Association Festival in Tucson, they attracted the distinction of Dick Goodman of The Reinsmen. He gave them some advice about how to revive their sound, and it wasn’t long until they’d developed their own unique graduate and harmony style. They also changed their name to The Desert Sons.
