Description:
New River Community College's Concert Series presents a Free Music Concert with New River Line and the Dixie Bluegrass Boys on Saturday, October 12, 2024 inside 117 Edwards Hall located on the New River Community College campus in Dublin, VA.

New River Line is a traditional bluegrass and gospel music group based in Woodlawn, VA. Since its informal beginning several years ago, New River Line continues to evolve and incorporate music which is influenced by many of the founding traditional bluegrass and gospel bands. The band has won multiple awards in band and instrumental competitions. The band is passionate about producing music that incorporates both gospel, traditional, and contemporary bluegrass music.

The Dixie Bluegrass Boys is a traditional bluegrass style band that has been playing for eleven years in the Virginia and North Carolina area. The group performs old-time, country and bluegrass music for dances and concerts. The band members are Jackson Cunningham, guitar, mandolin and vocals; Jeff Michael, fiddle; Ramona Church, five string banjo, guitar and vocals; and Jerry Steinberg, bass fiddle.

Admission is free though donations will be accepted to help with travel expenses for the musicians.

All are welcome.

New River Community College is located in a region rich in music that has been passed down through generations. Traditional music is as much source of pride for many area residents as it is a family legacy. Talented musicians - both instrumentally and vocally, crafters of musical instruments and those with a deep appreciation of the music gather monthly at the college for its jamborees.

Held since 1991 on the second Saturday of each month between October and April, the free music events have become a gathering of like-minded people who are interested in enjoying, preserving and perpetuating the great old-time and bluegrass music of their ancestors.

Twice a year, the club hosts paid concerts that bring bluegrass and country greats like Rhonda Vincent, Doyle Lawson, Dailey and Vincent, Gene Watson and Marty Stuart to the college. Many of these performers have made multiple appearances and drawn record-breaking crowds.

Ralph Stanley, Olen Gardner, Big Country Bluegrass, John Viers, Whitetop Mountain, The Adam Larkey Band and many others have also performed here and entertained thousands of local music fans.

Note: The club was originally named the New River Community College Fiddle, Banjo & Dance Club, but was changed to better reflect what the club brings to the community and include concerts outside the bluegrass and old time genres.
