This long time partnership with WKSK The Farm, our local radio station, is a wonderful way to experience local and regional live music.

The Crooked Road Ramblers are an old-time band from Southwest Virginia, steeped in the traditional music of the Blue Ridge. You can find them providing a mixture of instrumental dance music, old ballads and traditional country and bluegrass at notable venues across the region like the Carter Family Fold, HoustonFest, the Albert Hash Memorial Festival, and the Wayne Henderson Festival. They have won first place in the old-time band category at the Ashe County, Alleghany County, Laurel Bloomery, Fries and Union Grove Fiddlers Conventions in addition to being named the old time instrumental group of the year at the 2014 Blue Ridge Acoustic Uprising.
The band was started by fiddler Kilby Spencer, originally from Whitetop, Va. Kilby has been playing old-time music most of his life, learning from his parents, Thornton and Emily, who have been in the Whitetop Mountain Band for over 40 years. He also counts Johnny Miller and Dean Sturgill amongst his influences, in addition to recordings of Albert Hash, Otis Burris, and G.B. Grayson. Kilby has collected and digitized rare local recordings for many years and serves on the board of the Field Recorder’s Collective, whose mission is to preserve and release rare field- and home recordings. He started the band in hopes of carrying on the driving Southwest VA “big” band sound that makes people want to dance.
