Winding for over 200 miles across the mountains, ridges and valleys of southwestern Virginia, the Crooked Road passes through some of the most musical places on earth. The “Music from the Crooked Road” tour celebrates the living musical culture of this region, which today not only survives, but thrives. The evening will consist of bluegrass mountain gospel and flatfoot dance. The outstanding artists participation (Sammy Shelor, Wayne Henderson, Amber Collins & No Speed Limit, Kirk Satphin & Eddie Bond, the Whitetop Mountain Band, and Elizabeth LaPrelle) link the past, present and future of these deep American traditions.
