Carter Fold hosting Twin Creeks Stringband this weekend
HILTONS, Va. — The Carter Family Fold will host the Twin Creeks Stringband and the J Creek Cloggers this Saturday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Drawing deeply from local traditions along a southern stretch of the Virginia Blue Ridge, the Twin Creeks Stringband’s sound is one that is rooted and yet singularly unique. Their compelling combination of spirited string band dance numbers with classic song repertoire is a formula well-suited for entertaining crowds at dances and concerts throughout the region — and it doesn’t take long to understand why they are the perennial favorite of so many locals. With Chris Prillaman’s powerfully syncopated fiddling, Jason Hambrick’s soaring vocals and thundering guitar runs, and Jared Boyd’s ever tasteful banjo work, all anchored by Stacy Boyd’s impeccable groove on the bass, Twin Creeks Stringband embodies an ideal convergence of the best of Southwest Virginia’s musical traditions. Also appearing with Twin Creeks Stringband are the J Creek Cloggers, adding their signature mountain footwork and lively old‑time dance. Operated by the Carter Family Memorial Music Center, Inc., the Fold is a rural nonprofit, arts organization dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional, acoustic mountain music — now in its 51st

PHOTO GALLERY: 10th Annual Rogersville Bike Nite
The Bike Nite has been a spring tradition in downtown Rogersville for several years, but this year’s version came with a little different twist. Because of bad weather at its usual April date, the Rogersville Main Street Program shifted the date to September, and held the event last Saturday evening. There were some concerns in the forecast a day or two before the weekend that rain might again interfere, but it stayed away on Saturday, and even more fortuitously, the unseasonable heat that has gripped the area of late also went away, and Bike Night was held on a warm weekend evening with a pleasant breeze. Approximately 200 exhibitors brought bikes and trikes of various makes and models to downtown, with awards given to the top entries in various categories, prizes and a 50/50 raffle held, and the Smith Creek Band providing entertainment. The event was such a success that it is likely that the September date may be used in years to come. A total of 20 sponsors helped make the event happen and were thanked personally by Nancy Barker, Executive Director of the Rogersville/Hawkins County Chamber of Commerce. The sponsors included: Adventure Sponsors 1. Rogersville Marine 2. Red
