Hensley is back at Carter Fold this Saturday night

HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold is back in action after a week off for Halloween, and will welcome Trey Hensley & His Bluegrass Band back to the historic venue this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Trey Hensley is a Grammy-winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Johnson City, Tennessee, whose musical journey has been intertwined with the Carter Family Fold since childhood. A true prodigy, Trey first stepped onto the Grand Ole Opry stage at just eleven years old, performing alongside Marty Stuart and Earl Scruggs. Not long after, he met Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash at the Fold, where he performed with members of the Carter Family and later played at June Carter Cash’s birthday celebration—an early milestone that helped shape his lifelong connection to traditional music. Raised in nearby Telford, Trey began singing gospel at age six before discovering bluegrass guitar, quickly developing the fiery flatpicking style that would become his signature. His early career included several acclaimed bluegrass recordings with his band Drivin’ Force, produced with guidance from Tom T. Hall. Over the years, Trey has shared the stage with icons including Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, The Oak Ridge Boys, J.D. Crowe, Peter Frampton, and

ROGERSVILLE — Jayden Weston broke free for a 44-yard touchdown run with 4:09 left to play and the Chiefs’ defense came up big to lift Cherokee past Northview Academy 35-28 on Friday night and into the Region 1-4A football playoffs for the third straight season. “Hats off to the seniors to finish up the season on a win in Big Red Valley in front of their family on a night we celebrated them,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. “Getting to the playoffs is a privilege, and I’m super proud of these guys. I’m blessed to be their coach and blessed to call them mine.
