Mac Traynham & the Mountain Boomers
Gill’s Creek Grass Bluegrass Band
The Black Twig Pickers
Based on both sides of the Virginia-West Virginia line, the Black Twig Pickers have kicked up a fiddle and banjo, guitar and washboard ruckus for over a decade. The band specializes in regional old-time tunes learned from master players and from studying archival and home recordings. For dances, the core trio usually adds bass, duo fiddle and calling.
Rebekah & Us

This past summer she won eight first place ribbons at various fiddlers conventions in the region including Elk Creek and Fries. Keep your eyes on this talented bunch as you are sure to see more and more of them.
