Description:
New River Community College Fiddle, Banjo & Dance Club brings you a night of bluegrass and old-time music featuring Joey Cox & Company and The New Ballard's Branch Bogtrotters on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 117 Edwards Hall located at New River Community College's Dublin, VA campus.

Cox & Company is a traditional and contemporary bluegrass band based out of Southwest Virginia.

Frontman Joey Cox grew up in Pulaski County, Virginia, and was inspired at an early age to learn banjo and play bluegrass music. Shortly after graduating high school, he would spend the next 8 years on the road as a professional musician with bands that include BlueRidge, The Kenny & Amanda Smith Band, Lou Reid & Carolina, and the most well known Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

About 25 years ago a group of musicians from the Galax, VA area formed a new band. The New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters took their name, in part from the original Bogtrotters of the 1930's also because band leader Dennis Hall lives on Ballards Branch. They won the very first fiddlers Convention in Galax setting a precedence for all that follow in their footsteps.

The New Ballard's Branch Bogtrotters continue to play in the traditional Appalachian string-band style often playing for square dances around the region. Old time music is alive and well, and continues to attract fans of all ages. The New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters remain a driving force in carrying the traditional music of the Virginia/Carolina Blue Ridge into the new millennium. It is our hope to be an inspiration for future generations of mountain musicians!
