Description:
The Floyd Country Store presents Friday Night Jamboree with Twin Creek Stringband on Friday, January 23, 2026.

Music Schedule:
• 6:30 PM: Gospel Set with Jamboree Gospel
• 7:30 PM: Twin Creeks Stringband performs Two Dance Sets

Twin Creeks Stringband plays music for dancing playing a strong rhythmic old time sound that goes back many generations.

In the late 1970s, a group of neighbors and friends got together to play the music that had been passed down in the Dry Hill and Ferrum areas of Franklin County. Some of the musicians were falling behind on their timing one day while playing and having some fun, and one spectator commented that he was going to call the group the Dry Hill Draggers.

Banjo player Jimmy Boyd and his brother Billy Boyd started the official Dry Hill Draggers band in 1981. The group flourished, and more than thirty years later, some of the Dry Hill Draggers members formed Twin Creeks Stringband, including Jared Boyd, grandson of Jimmy Boyd, a third generation claw-hammer banjo player; his dad Stacy Boyd on upright bass; Jason Hambrick on guitar and vocals; and Chris Prillaman on fiddle. Twin Creeks Stringband has a particularly driving old-time beat that is irresistible to dancers, and they are popular performers at the Blue Ridge Folklife Festival, as well as at the Galax Old Fiddlers’ Convention.

The Friday Night Jamboree happens every Friday, rain or shine, all year round at the Floyd Country Store. The first hour is gospel music and this is followed by two dance bands. The dance bands provide the right beat for our enthusiastic crowd of flat foot dancers and cloggers.

The Floyd Country Store has become a traditional gathering place on Friday nights for musicians, dancers, and visitors from all over the world. The Friday Night Jamboree is an outstanding and authentic experience shared by old-timers and new visitors alike.

Please take note that seating is limited and in the summer and fall months the store gets very crowded. In good weather, there is plenty of room outside to enjoy the music. If a seat is important to you please arrive early. General admission tickets go on sale at 4:45 PM.

We also offer a very limited number of reserved seats, located in the center section starting from the second row through the fifth row (limited to 40 seats). Seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, per customer request and special needs. We ask that you be in your seats by 6:30 PM, or your reservation will be cancelled.

The Jamboree operates on “Granny’s Rules” – no smoking, no drinking alcohol, no bad language, and no conduct unbecoming to a lady or a gentleman. It’s a great time for the whole family, and you’re likely to see kids from six to ninety-six out on our hardwood dance floor. You may even be one of them.
