You do not want to miss this! This Saturday, November 25th, Appalachian Road Show is coming live to the stage at Stecoah Valley Center for a night to remember!

Appalachian Road Show combines the award-winning talents of lead singer and banjoist Barry Abernathy, tenor singer and mandolinist extraordinaire Darrell Webb, Grammy award winning fiddler and producer Jim Van Cleve. On guitar is Zeb Snyder, a young phenom who has taken acoustic guitar circles by storm.

The group seeks to honor the music, traditions and history of the great Appalachian people and regions, as much as it does to forge its own fresh musical and entertainment trails. Each endeavor is infused with an authenticity and vitality borne of their Appalachian roots. Their latest album, Jubilation, is introduced and narrated by none other than Dolly Parton. Performance is just as much a part of Appalachian Road Show as the music ¬– they pull out all the stops. Come on out and join us for a spell.
