Winding for over 300 miles across the mountains, ridges and valleys of southwestern Virginia, the Crooked Road passes through some of the most musical places on earth. For generations, the tiny rural Appalachian communities scattered along its length have produced an abundance of extraordinary traditional musicians. Keepers of an historic musical legacy from colonial times, they have created and passed on old-time, bluegrass and mountain gospel sounds that have profoundly influenced the development of American music.
The Music From the Crooked Road tour celebrates the living musical culture of this region, which today not only survives, but thrives. The outstanding artists participating in this tour link the past, present and future of these deep American traditions.
