The Twin Creeks Stringband is an old-time band from Southwest Virginia where their hard-driving music has been handed down to them through generations of music in Carroll and Franklin County.  The band is a continuation of The Dry Hill Draggers, a band formed in the early 1980’s in Franklin County, Virginia who played for dances and festivals for over 30 years.

Though the name has changed, the high-energy sound and rock-solid rhythm remains unchanged.  The Twin Creeks Stringband continues to play hot fiddle tunes with a driving beat along with strong vocals that will entertain both listeners and dancers alike.  The members of the band include Chris Prillaman on fiddle, Jason Hambrick on guitar and vocals, Stacy Boyd on bass, and his son Jared Boyd on banjo.

About Mabry Mill, Milepost 176

Mabry Mill is the most photographed spot on the Parkway. Ed and Lizzy Mabry built the mill, where they ground corn, sawed lumber, and did blacksmithing for three decades. The old mill, cultural demonstrations, and a decades-long tradition of Sunday afternoon music continue to draw visitors today. Take a break from driving with a short walk by the mill or some country fare at the restaurant.

Mabry Mill concerts are held the second Sunday of the month, June through September. Concerts are held outdoors near the sorghum shed. Bring a chair and sit a while to hear some some of the best local musicians as they regale you with music and stories about the local musical traditions.
