Lotus Dickey

Lotus Dickey (1911-1989)

The folk singer, songwriter, and musician from rural Orange County, Indiana, wrote tunes and songs that drew from his family and community, as well as from country singers and fiddlers he heard on the radio. Each year, the Lotus World Music and Arts Festival in Bloomington honors Lotus Dickey's memory.
