Winding for over 200 miles across the mountains, ridges, and valleys of southwestern Virginia, this “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.

Music from the Crooked Road: Mountain Music of Virginia” is produced by the National Council for the Traditional Arts and presented in partnership with the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Virginia Tourism Corporation and The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail.   The tour has been designated a National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces program, representing the best of American cultural heritage and legacy
