The Whitetop Mountain Band - Live at the 1904 Courthouse

On Saturday, September 27th at 7 p.m., visitors to the Museum of Ashe County history will have the opportunity to see the traditional mountain pickers, the Whitetop Mountain Band.

The Whitetop Mountain Band is a family-based band from the highest mountains of Virginia. Whitetop, Virginia, is an area rich in the old-time music tradition; this band has deep roots in mountain music. The members have done much to preserve the Whitetop region's style of old-time fiddling and banjo picking and are legendary musicians and teachers of the style. The band is currently led by Emily Spencer, who was a founding member of the group in the 1970s.

This concert will take place in the historic 1904 Ashe County Courtroom. Tickets for this event are $10, with children 7 and under free.

Tickets can be purchased in the museum’s gift shop. For more information call (336) 846-1904.
