Dos Valley Trio—Jewels of the San Joaquin

This recording is a musical heritage preservation project that showcases traditional
fiddle tunes and songs from four outstanding Central Valley musicians: Kenny Hall, Otis Pierce, Ron Hughey, and John “Dad” Crockett. We are presenting some of their more obscure, undocumented tunes as well as some familiar favorites. All the music on this CD springs from these traditional musicians who lived and performed in the San Joaquin Valley of California from 1919 to 2013.
