"Fiddlin' Doc Roberts (April 26, 1897 - August 4, 1978) was an American Kentucky-style old-time fiddler. In the fall of 1927, he formed a duo with Asa Martin called Martin & Roberts. Between 1927 and 1934, the duo performed at fiddler's conventions, in schoolhouses, on vaudeville stages, and on radio (WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky). Martin & Roberts recorded altogether more than 200 sides on eleven different labels. With the addition of Doc Roberts' son, James, the Fiddlin' Doc Roberts Trio was formed.
