For those wanting to enjoy some old time music, you can visit Natural Tunnel State Park overnight, which is alongthe Crooked Road: Virginia's Heritage Music Trail.
Cybergrass "Bluegrass Music News Network" gave us the following info:
Like their name, the Skidmarks’ music is unique. In the world of old time music – music usually associated with barn dances and community get-togethers – this group stands out. The band was formed in the 1990s. They took a hiatus from their music briefly, but they’re now back on the road. Edwin Lacey is featured on banjo. Scott Freeman plays fiddle and mandolin. Willard Gayheart plays guitar, and Sandy Glover plays bass. Saturday, August 20th, 2011, at 7:30 p.m., the Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, Virginia, will present a concert of bluegrass and old time music by Skeeter and the Skidmarks. Admission is $7 for adults, $1 for children 6 to 11, under age 6 free.
