Description:
The Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley presents their May First Friday Listening Room featuring The Jack Hinshelwood Trio with Scott Freeman and Sam West on Friday, May 1, 2026.

Jack Hinshelwood is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist with more than 50 years of experience performing traditional bluegrass, old time, folk and Americana music. Known for his work on guitar, fiddle, and harmonica, his style draws from Appalachian roots while moving comfortably through bluegrass, blues, Celtic, and beyond.

He is a past winner of the Knoxville World’s Fair Guitar Championship, the Wayne Henderson Guitar Championship, and a two-time winner at the Galax Old Fiddler’s Convention. His recent projects include DOC AT 100, a touring program honoring the legacy of Doc Watson, which was nominated for Event of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.

He was also the Executive Director of the Crooked Road and was a civil and environmental engineer for a number of years prior to that. He is also a member of the band the Celtibillies.

Joining Jack are Scott Freeman and Sam West, two accomplished musicians who bring their own depth and versatility to the trio. Together, they create a sound and welcoming energy that we’re thrilled to welcome to our listening room!

Event entry is free however a $5.00 donation is suggested.

The Listening Room opens at 5:00 PM with light refreshments and a cash bar serving beer and wine. Music is from 6:00-8:00 PM.
