Description:
New River Community College's Concert Series presents their Free December Music Concert with performances by Mountain Blessings who will be joined by Grammy-winning fiddler Hunter Berry and Nobody’s Business on Saturday, December 9, 2023 inside 117 Edwards Hall located on the New River Community College campus in Dublin, VA.

Mountain Blessings is a bluegrass and bluegrass gospel band stationed out of Mount Airy, North Carolina and surrounding towns. The band plays mostly classic bluegrass such as Flatt and Scruggs, Reno and Smiley, and many more, while including a couple of newer artists such as LRB and Balsam Range.

Mountain Blessings members say they came up with the band name because they all grew up on a mountain, and God gave them the ability to play.

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.

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.
