Uncle Henry’s Favorites
Milepost Music presents Uncle Henry’s Favorites
Sunday, August 10, 2-4 p.m.
Humpback Rocks
Uncle Henry’s Favorites of Albemarle County, VA — Jim, Mark, Pete, and Ellen— started playing together in 1985. We still have the same four members, and still love playing old-time music at local jam sessions and dances.  The adventurous spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the classic sounds made famous by Uncle Dave Macon, Charlie Poole, the Skillet Lickers, the Carter Family, and countless fiddle and banjo players from Virginia’s Blue Ridge, live on. Let’s have a little tune!
About Humpback Rocks, Milepost 6
The Blue Ridge Parkway’s northernmost visitor center, Humpback Rocks illustrates the blend of cultural and natural features that defines the rest of the parkway. Hike to high rock outcroppings or explore 1890s farm buildings relocated during parkway construction. Start your trip at the visitor center and learn about the many aspects of mountain life that defy stereotypes.
Humpback Rocks concerts are held under a majestic tree on the grounds of the historic mountain farm. 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.
