The Old Rock School in Valdese, North Carolina has become well-known throughout the nation for its outstanding bluegrass concerts. Junior Sisk will close out the 2025-2026 with special season finale on April 11, 2026.
Junior Sisk stands as one of today’s most admired voices in bluegrass music. A proud son of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Sisk brings raw emotion, timeless authenticity, and a deep respect for tradition to every performance. With roots planted firmly in the sounds of the Stanley Brothers, Larry Sparks, Dave Evans and the Johnson Mountain Boys, his music echoes the heart of classic bluegrass while continuing to push it forward.
Sisk first made his mark as a songwriter in the early 1990s, crafting fan favorites like “The Game I Can’t Win” and “Tears Are Blinding Me” for the Lonesome River Band. He soon moved into the spotlight as a performer with groups like Wyatt Rice & Santa Cruz, Blueridge, and his own band, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice. His 2011 album Heart of a Song was a breakthrough moment, earning IBMA Album of the Year and launching a string of awards, including IBMA Song of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.
Known for his unmistakable voice and hard-driving sound, Sisk has remained a consistent force in bluegrass, with his 2020 album Load the Wagon spending six months at #1 on national charts and drawing critical acclaim. The project earned multiple IBMA nominations and solidified his reputation as a leading figure in the genre.
Now signed to Turnberry Records, Sisk is embracing a new chapter with his latest album, It’s All Fun and Games. Already producing two very successful singles, “Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey” and “Where Love Goes to Die”, this new project offers a fresh dose of high-octane bluegrass that proves tradition never goes out of style.
All shows are at 7:30pm and doors will open at 6:30pm. The Old Rock School Box Office is open Monday - Friday from 8am -5pm (closed for lunch 12 - 1pm daily). The handicapped entrance is located at the side of the building (elevator). Call 828-879-2129 for additional information or send an email to
