On May 13th the Carter Fold hosted a special mid-week concert for a group of over 100 Country Music fans from all over the UK and Ireland doing a musical tour of the US. The headliner of the show was the Fiddlin Carson Peters Band, and we were excited to take my mother to the Fold. It has been a lot of fun watching now 11 year-old Carson Peters talent growing before our eyes! Hes gone from a guest musician on the Fold stage to an appearance at the Grand Old Opry to now headlining his own band in just the last year. His fiddle and guitar playing is so natural and free-flowing he can hold his own on stage with anyone else playing Bluegrass these days. Even though he is so young, hes well versed in his roots, acknowledging influences from Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, and The Carter Family. His vocals are as impressive as his fiddlin and he just keeps getting better as a performer. It was a great night at The Fold, and an awesome opportunity to show off our local talent and hospitality to two busloads of fans from across the Big Pond!

It is an amazing place. It sticks to what old Southwest Virginia tradition is. The cooks spend a lot of time making the dishes that are homemade every Saturday. It stops early enough so you can still go to church tomorrow morning. Rita Forrester is one of the sweetest ladies youll ever meet. And Flo Wolfe (the lady who works the souvenir stand) is the oldest living descendent of A.P. and Sara Carter. She can tell you more facts gem almost anyone there about the Carter family. If you go then see the Hogslop String Band!!!

REAL traditional country music in a dancing venue if the feeling to dance surges in you... audience close to performance...feel the energy!

Almost a living piece of music history. Really brings home how long ago the Carter Family existed and yet how close their music remains.

The is a venue where the Appalachian folkways is on display from food, dance, and music. This is part of the roots of American music.

Have been there several times. Good, clean music and fun from the area where country and bluegrass music was born.

Great place for old-timey music. My dad says he once saw Johnny Cash appear there as a surprise before Cash died.
