Enjoy a night of music featuring Blue Connection and Nobody’s Business!

Blue Connection is a hard driving traditional style bluegrass band. We formed in mid-winter of 2013. We play traditional standard bluegrass and country songs with a mixture of contemporary country and a some rock thrown in for good measure.

Nobody’s Business is a band from Southwest Virginia and Northwest North Carolina that plays traditional first generation bluegrass, old time string band and classic era country.

Admission is free though donations will be accepted to help with travel expenses for the musicians.

All are welcome.

Doors open at 5:00 PM and the music starts at 6:00 PM.

The Concert Series events are held the second Saturday of each month, October through April at New River Community College, a Crooked Road affiliated venue.

New River Community College is located in a region rich in music that has been passed down through generations. Traditional music is as much source of pride for many area residents as it is a family legacy. Talented musicians - both instrumentally and vocally, crafters of musical instruments and those with a deep appreciation of the music gather monthly at the college for its jamborees.

Held since 1991 on the second Saturday of each month between October and April, the free music events have become a gathering of like-minded people who are interested in enjoying, preserving and perpetuating the great old-time and bluegrass music of their ancestors.

Twice a year, the club hosts paid concerts that bring bluegrass and country greats like Rhonda Vincent, Doyle Lawson, Dailey and Vincent, Gene Watson and Marty Stuart to the college. Many of these performers have made multiple appearances and drawn record-breaking crowds.

Ralph Stanley, Olen Gardner, Big Country Bluegrass, John Viers, Whitetop Mountain, The Adam Larkey Band and many others have also performed here and entertained thousands of local music fans.

Note: The club was originally named the New River Community College Fiddle, Banjo & Dance Club, but was changed to better reflect what the club brings to the community and include concerts outside the bluegrass and old time genres.
