Come one, come all! This fall, the first Saturday of the month, from the Floyd Country Store, springs a new old timey variety show, broadcasted live to the New River Valley!
In the style of the Opry shows of old, the Floyd Radio Show brings a jam-packed hour of original radio dramas and comedy skits—performed by a team of local actors. It brings colorful, true stories of life in Floyd, its wit and wisdom, and the characters that inhabit it, brought to life for the radio.
The show’s hosts, Anna and Elizabeth, bring together some of the finest old time, bluegrass and folk musicians in the area for the show, to sing sweet harmonies, and bear down on barnstorming fiddle tunes!
The live show airs the first Saturday of every month with a full lineup of local & regional musical acts! The variety hour is an hour, to be followed by an extended musical concert event!
Fiddler Anna Roberts-Gevalt and ballad singer Elizabeth LaPrelle, of Floyd and Smyth Counties, perform as a duo; they have performed and taught at music camps and festivals across the country, and abroad, and at numerous schools and nursing homes, locally.
Here’s a sneak peak from November’s show…….Video by Doug Thompson.
