New River Community College's Concert Series continues their Free Music Concert Series with New Grass Edition and The New Ballard’s Branch Bogtrotters on Saturday, February 8, 2025 inside 117 Edwards Hall located on the New River Community College campus in Dublin, VA.
The members of New Grass Edition are all former members of other bluegrass bands who love traditional bluegrass. Band members performing at the show are Brian Dunford on bass, Dewey Long on fiddle, Nessie Hunt on banjo and vocals, TJ Garrett on guitar and vocals, and Jack Wells on mandolin and vocals.
About 25 years ago a group of musicians from the Galax, VA area formed a new band. The New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters took their name, in part from the original Bogtrotters of the 1930's also because band leader Dennis Hall lives on Ballards Branch. They won the very first fiddlers Convention in Galax setting a precedence for all that follow in their footsteps.
The New Ballard's Branch Bogtrotters continue to play in the traditional Appalachian string-band style often playing for square dances around the region. Old time music is alive and well, and continues to attract fans of all ages. The New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters remain a driving force in carrying the traditional music of the Virginia/Carolina Blue Ridge into the new millennium. It is our hope to be an inspiration for future generations of mountain musicians!
