Wytheville Community College is sponsoring its free monthly Bluegrass and Old-Time Jamboree, this time featuring the bluegrass band Fescue and the old-time group The White Top Mountain Band on Saturday, November 21, from 7-9 p.m. in the George Wythe High School Auditorium in Wytheville.

“Fescue� was founded more than 20 years ago and has performed in Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and West Virginia. The five-piece band’s stage show is comprised of a wide range of bluegrass music from slow ballads to hard-driving, energetic tunes. The band won first place in the Bluegrass Band competition at the Galax Fiddlers Convention in 1997 and then followed that win with another first-place finish in the same category in 2000. Fescue has appeared several times at the WCC Bluegrass and Old-Time Jamboree.

The White Top Mountain Band has a long history in old-time music. Three of the current lineup’s five members are Spencers—fiddler Thornton and his multi-instrumentalist wife Emily and their daughter Martha—complemented ably by mandolinist Jackson Cunningham and acoustic bassist Debbie Bramer. Emily and Martha split the bulk of lead-vocal and harmony duties, and they sing with beauty and intensity in the pure Appalachian style. The band sizzles without ever sounding soullessly slick.

Fescue will perform from 7-8 p.m. and The White Top Mountain Band will perform from 8-9 p.m. The doors will be open at the George Wythe High School Auditorium beginning at 6 p.m. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The event is free and open to the public. Donations will be accepted to help defray the travel expenses of the bands.
