Description:
The Newport Jamboree kicks off their 2017 season with their May Jamboree featuring the music of Mike Gangloff, Isak Howell, Rusty May and Corey Lee McQuade on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at the Newport Community Park.

Enjoy old time and bluegrass music by the Sinking Creek! We're happy to welcome local old time trio Mike Gangloff, Isak Howell and Rusty May followed by West Virginia's award winning dobro player Corey Lee McQuade who was recently featured in Bluegrass Unlimited magazine!

Banjos and fiddles, boards and bones in hand, the Black Twig Pickers dove into a living tradition of old-time music that surrounds their homes in Southwest Virginia and never looked back. Acoustic music, played acoustically. Enjoy old-time stringband music from Black Twig Pickers, known for a forward-leaning take on traditional sounds, tours of the USA and Europe and a string of albums on Thrill Jockey, VHF and other labels.

Both scholars of the regional sounds and advocates of an ecstatic and highly personal approach to the music, the Twigs hold down local dance and bar gigs, play all manner of celebrations and every so often, hit the road.
