Thank you to all the bands and fans for participating in this year's Last Banjo Standing contest. As per the contest rules, we conferred with some of the artists on the bill and chose the Last Banjo Standing winner from amongst the TOP FIVE VOTE-GETTERS. The decision was a tough one and disappointing people was no fun at all. But take a second to congratulate Donnie Biggins, and welcome him to the Main Stage this November.
