Listening to “old-time” music is like taking a trip back in history to a simpler time.  Before electricity, air travel, and the Internet, acoustic string bands entertained gatherings in the mountains of Virginia and beyond.   

 "Old-time" has influenced a number of genres including country, bluegrass, folk, and rock.  If you’re a fan of any of these musical styles, you’ll find something to love about Ferry Crossing.  The band has transported the sound of fiddlers’ conventions in Galax and elsewhere to the RVA area for audiences here to enjoy.  You’re in for a treat – get your dancing shoes ready!
