 Check out our list of local Wingdings! Wingdings are always family events - so bring the kids, grandkids and even the old hound. Rocky Mount is the starting point for the
The Crooked Road Music Trail!
Look for the signs around town.
Sample the music you might have heard at a turn-of-the century party. We'll take you into the parlors of city dwellers and to a
rural barn dance. Take advantage of this list to hear some of the very best Bluegrass and Mountain music around! So if you
wanna jam, pick, toe tap, fiddle, or simply
grin...
A listener in bluegrass language is known as a "grinner".
(Probably because the music makes the listener want to
grin!) You can be a "grinner" or a "picker" or both!
Because
bluegrass has its roots in gospel church singing, these jams
provide a place to share the gospel music we all know and
love. Rocky Mount is the start of the Crooked Road Music
Trail...the journey begins here.
