Guitar Masters of the Blue Ridge Concert!
Saturday, May 8 – 7:30 PM – Tickets $12 on sale now!
This event will feature Wayne Henderson, Jack Hinshelwood and Brandon Davis! Three of the best guitar players from this area perform on one stage. Wayne Henderson’s top-notch finger-picking is a source of great pleasure and pride to his friends, family, and neighbors in Grayson County, Virginia; his guitar playing has also been enjoyed at Carnegie Hall, in three national tours of “Masters of the Steel-String Guitar”, and in seven nations in Asia. Jack Hinshelwood began playing traditional music, much of it Appalachian and Bluegrass fiddle tunes, on the guitar in 1972. He found success in numerous guitar contests, winning the Knoxville World’s Fair Guitar Championship, the Galax Fiddler’s Convention Guitar Contest and the Wayne Henderson Guitar Championship. Brandon Davis was born in Galax, Virginia. Living in the musically rich hills of southwest Virginia, he got the opportunity to hear and play with some of the best roots based musicians in the country. Brandon started competing in local contests and fiddlers conventions allowing him the chance to perform and jam with different musicians sharpening his skills. In 1997 Davis competed and won the prestigious Wayne Henderson guitar championship. Don’t miss your opportunity to see these three amazing guitar players share the same stage!
Celebrating 100

And all through the year you’ll notice special touches, special products and special events to mark this 100th year. We’d also like to hear from you.
