Vance organizes solo and group musical entertainment for social gatherings and trade shows and can gather the proper mix of musicians to accommodate most musical venues.

Michael Gulezian (gu-LAY-ze-in) is one of the most highly acclaimed solo acoustic instrumental guitarists of our time. He’s a phenomenal technical guitarist with the rare ability to transcend his own virtuosity, creating music that touches and moves people at the deepest level – boundary-free, mind-opening, emotionally imbued, horizon-expanding, spiritually inspired, fearless, genre-bending, transcendent, soulful, joyful, kickass, exquisitely gorgeous instrumental solo acoustic guitar music – music that quite literally defies description. For more than three decades, Michael has unpretentiously walked onstage and delivered one riveting performance after another. Each one of Michael’s albums has raised the aesthetic of contemporary solo acoustic guitar to a new level. He’s been called the musical link between John Fahey and Michael Hedges.
“Michael Gulezian might be the most accomplished pure guitarist on the planet. compositional genius. …astounding.”– Fred Kraus, Minor 7th.com
“uncommonly thoughtful and provocative … sweeping story-like melodies, multi-dimensional epics, and heartland hymns.”– Jazz Times
“…Guliezian’s place is among the pantheon of greats including Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho, and John Fahey. Stunningly beautiful…Breathtaking…” – MUZE Reviews

“An evening with Vicki is far more than a concert. Stories, warmth and humor come gift wrapped in an unforgettable evening of music that leaves the audience always wanting more.”
Playing her own percussive technique of “slap-tap” acoustic guitar, Vicki Genfan has been showcased as one of the world’s top guitarists at festivals such as The International Montreal Jazz Festival, Germany’s Open Strings Guitar Festival, Italy’s Soave Guitar Festival and hundreds of venues and Performing Arts Centers across the US and abroad.
Vicki was one of the featured artists on La Guitara, a CD featuring the world’s top female guitarists across all styles. She has two CDs released on Germanys ‘Acoustic Music Records’ and three Self-released CDs. She was also the first woman to win Guitar Player magazine’s Guitar Superstar Competition, after competing against nine other world-class players in front of celebrity judges, and was just recently awarded the Winner in the Instrumental category by the 2025 International Acoustic Music Awards.

Carolina Heelsplitters

High Lonesome Strings Bluegrass Association presents Carolina Heelsplitters at 2:30 pm at Stonefield Cellars Winery in Stokesdale NC.
Carolina Heelsplitters

Put on your dancing shoes and tune up your singing voice because the Heelsplitters are bound to entertain! With decades of collective musical experience, The Carolina Heelsplitters deliver a unique sound influenced by a rich tapestry of backgrounds ranging from bluegrass, old time, cajun, blues, and acoustic rock. They have been performing fun, engaging, live shows for over a decade, throughout the Triangle & Triad areas and are always a crowd favorite.

Band co-founder, Fiddling Chris Mankoff makes his home in the Bull City. He started playing classical violin at a young age, inspired by great North Carolina fiddler Tommy Jarrell, he began playing old-time fiddle in his 20’s. Chris seamlessly blends bluegrass, old-time, cajun, country & western and Irish fiddle styles. A singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Chris’s main bluegrass influences are Bill Monroe, Curly Ray Cline, Kenny Baker and Bobby Hicks, but his diverse musical influences run deep and are a source of endless surprises.

Harold Brady, a band co-founder and Triangle resident, hails from Moore County, playing bass in bluegrass bands throughout his time at NC State University in the 1990’s. Since then he has played in numerous bluegrass, indie rock, country, cajun/zydeco, and jazz projects throughout central North Carolina. Inspired by bluegrassers such as Mike Bub, Rob Wasserman, and Tom Gray he keeps the party moving. Harold’s passion for the rivers and streams throughout the state led to him proposing the band name, The Carolina Heelsplitters, a federally protected freshwater mussel that only occurs in a small area along the North and South Carolina stateline.

With over 30 years of experience as a performer and songwriter, Greensboro’s Greg Eldred has become a celebrated figure in the realms of Bluegrass, Americana, and country music. Drawing inspiration from the legendary sounds of Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, and Jerry Reed, Greg’s music resonates with authenticity and heartfelt storytelling. Throughout his career, Greg has showcased his versatility as an artist, captivating audiences with his skilled guitar playing and soulful vocals. His ability to traverse various musical genres has not only enriched his performances but has also positioned him as an established songwriter, with his works being recorded by national artists. This recognition highlights his talent and dedication to the craft, making him a sought-after collaborator in the music industry.

Banjoist Marshall Gray is a native of Lynchburg, Va and currently resides in Haw River, NC. Marshall was exposed to bluegrass and old time at an early age through local acts, seeing the Reno and Smiley show on TV each morning, and annual family visits to Galax Fiddlers convention. He attended East Tennessee State University where he fell into a hotbed of bluegrass, including taking the then one hour bluegrass band class (which has now become a full program). His primary banjo influences are Sammy Shelor and Ron Block. Marshall completed a military career but was able to squeeze in working with bands such as Atlanta based, Pilgrims; VA’s Deja Moo; and Triangle’s White Pine Hollow, and The String Machine.
Come out and enjoy an eclectic repertoire best described simply as, “Splittergrass”!

Tyler discovered his passion for music while losing his vision to RP, a degenerative retinal disease- and Emma comes from a background in multi-genre vocal performance, beginning with classical training at an early age. Ty’s steady and cool nature balances Em’s gutsy emotionality, and together they are a musical force.

CandelFirth Bio
CandelFirth is a musical duo that explores traditional Celtic and Native American music through unique rhythms, arrangements and expressions.
Randy Candelaria (fiddle, guitar, recorder, Irish bouzouki, hurdy gurdy – and others) has been playing Celtic music for over 30 years with a number of bands including Naomi’s Fancy (having performed during a US presidential visit) and the Celthix (opening up for Scotland’s premiere band, The Tannahill Weavers, on two evenings). He has recently played in pubs across Ireland in Dublin, Galway and Doolin, including sessions with Friar’s Green and the legendary Irish group De Danann. Randy also has been involved in recording sessions for various artists and has film credits for his contributions, along with radio and TV appearances (see his Facebook page for specifics!).
Susie Firth Candelaria has enjoyed exploring music since childhood and has played a variety of Celtic harps for over 25 years. A lover of music of all kinds, including Classical and the music of ancient cultures, her true love is for the music of Ireland and Scotland. Susie also performs on a variety of flutes, penny whistles, baroque recorders, Native American flutes, djembe and bodhran. She has been a solo artist for years, a session musician and a guest musician on several recording projects. Her love for Celtic music has extended for the past 30 years or more.
Both have joined together to bring their unique approaches and dedication to the music of the British Isles in a blended and dynamic presentation reflecting their appreciation and fondness for the Celtic and Native American traditions along with their own unique compositions and arrangements.
Susie owns and operates Blue Mountain Herbs and Supplements in Pilot Mountain while Randy recently retired as an academic dean after 41 years in higher education.

Vance Archer III Bio

Vance D. Archer III has been a musician for over 70 years with a career that spans from classical cello in the family string quartet to 40 years of leading Folk Music, Irish Celli and Contra Dance bands in the greater New York City/New Jersey region. He plays violin, viola, cello, guitar, mandolin, autoharp and bouzouki in a variety of musical styles.
Since moving to Greensboro in 2005, Vance has become active in the Triad Music and Art Scene. In addition to leading the Fiddle Tunes Friendzy, Vance hosts the Triad Music Circle in his home, where they enjoy playing acoustic music from many traditions. The Music Circle consists of musicians with varied abilities and interests while serving primarily as emotional musical therapy for its members. The group also serves as an introduction to group playing for his students. Vance hosts an occasional “Traveling Hootenanny” where folks join for an evening of socialization and singing.
Vance performs solo concerts in various regional venues. For these performances he often plays Guitar, Autoharp and Fiddle while leading the singing. Vance organizes solo and group musical entertainment for social gatherings and trade shows and can gather the proper mix of musicians to accommodate most musical venues.

Vance would rather practice outside than inside. He can often be seen strolling in the Bog Garden, Bicentennial Gardens, Country Park or the Arboretum with his fiddle or sitting on a park bench with his autoharp.
