The Bluegrass Kinsmen are a bluegrass band based in Southwestern Virginia and have been around for over 40 years picking bluegrass. The band performs a variety of bluegrass songs, mostly traditional, but also some folk and gospel music.

"I've been associated with Ebby Jewell and The Bluegrass Kinsmen off and on for almost 30 years. Ebby Jewell is such a pioneer of Southwest Virginia's bluegrass musical heritage, not to mention one of the most talented people I know." -- Darrell Webb

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.
