The Crooked Road On Tour Featured at George Mason University



 Abingdon, Virginia – The Crooked Road On Tour will be featured in performance at George Mason University’s Hylton Performing Arts Center on Saturday, November 23rd at 8:00 p.m. This concert, highlighting the music and dance of the New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters and Martha Spencer, is part of the Hylton Performing Arts Center’s American Roots series.

The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail performances celebrate the traditional music that has been kept by families and communities of Southwest Virginia since colonial times. Settlers of this mountainous region since the 1700’s have brought various ingredients – a cappella gospel music from German tradition that lives in the Old Regular Baptist churches today; spirituals, emotive singing and a musical gourd we now call a banjo from African tradition; and ballads and fiddles brought by the Scots-Irish and English. Mixed together, these ingredients have produced one of the richest musical traditions on earth.

The New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters are an old time band from the Galax, Virginia area that plays Appalachian mountain music for square dances, as well as concerts and festivals. The New Ballards Branch Bogtrotters took their name in part from the original Bogtrotters of the 1930's and also because band leader Dennis Hall lives on Ballards Branch. Dennis' home is very close to the home of Uncle Eck Dunford, who played fiddle in the original band. The New Ballard's Branch Bogtrotters continue to play in the traditional Appalachian string-band style, often playing for square dances around the region.

Martha Spencer is a singer-songwriter, mountain musician and dancer from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She grew up in the musical Spencer family and learned to play several instruments (guitar, fiddle, banjo, bass, dulcimer, mandolin) and flatfoot/clog at a young age. She performs and has recorded with various groups and has been involved with several roots music projects. Martha has played shows and festivals and led workshops across the US, Australia, UK, and Europe.

The Crooked Road On Tour performance at George Mason University is supported in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

  1. Investing online has been a main source of income,that's why knowledge plays a very important role in humanity,you don't need to over work yourself for money.All you need is the right information,and you could build your own wealth from the comfort of your home!Binary trading is dependent on timely signals,assets or controlled strategies which when mastered increases chance of winning up to 90%-100% with trading. It’s possible to earn $10,000 to $20,000 trading weekly-monthly,just file a complaint with Mr Steven Robert,I had almost given up on everything about binary trading and ever getting my lost funds back,till i met with him,with his help now i have my lost funds back to my bank account and I can now trade successfully with his profitable strategies and software!!
