Trail Days Music Lineup

Adam Bolt & the Lockwashers – Friday 3:00-5:00
A former grape farmer, Adam spent years working in the fields where the solitude of the land provided the perfect space for his mind to wander, creating songs that would become the soundtrack to his experiences. His music, deeply connected to the rhythms of nature, reflects his experiences in rural life. Adam describes his songwriting as “sensationalized, cynical, and seasoned in the key of country,” influenced by the works of musical heroes such as Todd Snider, John Prine, Tom T. Hall, and Roger Miller. He recalls childhood car trips to Alabama where he immersed himself in the music of his parents—shaping the sound and soul of his songs.

Breadfruit Reggae – Friday 5:30-7:30
Breadfruit is a reggae band made up of several different artists from several different bands from throughout the Appalachian regions of Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee, including members of The Soulamanders and the Post Bop Jazz Band.

​Check out Breadfruit at the Damascus Old Mill Inn.

Seedpicker – Friday 8:00-10:00
Seedpicker, a crew from the hills and valleys of Southwestern Virginia, jams the blues, funk, soul, and reggae with fun arrangements of familiar feel-good classics and original tunes.

Ramona and the Holy Smokes – Saturday 5:30-7:30
 Based in Central Virginia and with family roots in South Texas, Ramona and the Holy Smokes represent a new generation of honky tonk music. With powerful female vocals that cover an emotional range from determined to comic to vulnerable, and a talented backing band steeped in classic country and western styles of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, the band’s repertoire includes lush emotional ballads, quintessential two-step dance numbers, gritty country-rockers, and a unique blend of honky tonk and traditional Mexican styles that the group describes as “Mexi-tonk.”

Sunday Stage Takeover hosted by Jamie Collins of The Blue Ridge Girls! – Sunday 12:00-4:00
The Blue Ridge Girls, like their name, invoke a picturesque simplicity with their take on traditional mountain music. Jamie Collins is a singer-songwriter, bassist, and guitarist from Bristol, Tennessee. Growing up with her Dad, Tony, who was one of the area’s best flat pickers, she has been surrounded by talented musicians since birth. Jamie shares her love of music by also teaching at Junior Appalachian Musicians, Inc. (JAM), and she released her first solo album in 2022.
