| Description: |
Floyd Country Store presents an Old-Time Dance with the Whitetop Mountain Band on Saturday, July 2, 2016. The event starts at 7:30 pm and the dancing continues until the last note is played, usually around 10:30 pm. We can also expect some great dancers on the floor to fire the bands up even more! Soup, sandwiches, ice cream, baked goods and snacks will be on sale throughout the evening to keep you going. The Whitetop Mountain Band is a family-based band that originated in the 1940s. They have deep roots in mountain music and their members have done much to preserve the Whitetop region’s style of old time fiddling and banjo picking. Their performances are also noted for their versatility, often containing blues, classic country, honky tonk pieces and traditional bluegrass. They are a tour de force of playing, singing, and dance, and they are gifted entertainers as well. They are one of the busiest groups in the Appalachians, performing concerts, festivals, competitions and for dances in America and abroad in the United Kingdom and Australia. They have been featured in many books, magazines and TV/radio shows about Appalachian music such as "The Guide to the Crooked Road", "Strings of Life”, Country Music Television, Travel Channel, PBS and more.
