Mountain Park Old Time Band

December 12 at 7:30 p.m.

"The Mountain Park Old Time Band brings forth a sound that predates what we know as "Bluegrass Music". This music conjures up thoughts of the moors of Scotland as well as the emerald green pastures of Ireland- a sound that has been heard in the mountains and valleys of North Carolina and Southwest Virginia for centuries. Their timing is impeccable, their vocals as pure as the breeze on a brisk mountain spring morning. I challenge you to keep your feet still...."

Wayne Taylor, Member of "Blue Highway" and 2001 SPBGMA Bass Performer of the Year.

Blue Ridge Backroads Attracts Thousands of Listeners by Julie Pharr

WBRF 98.1 FM sends out 100,000 watts of live old-time and bluegrass music every Friday night from the stage of the historic Rex Theater, located in downtown Galax, Va., a town nicknamed "The World Capital of Old Time Mountain Music." Listeners may be in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia or Tennessee enjoying the traditional music show from the comfort of their homes, or they may be sitting back in one of the 475 seats at the Rex.
