Cedric Burnside
&
Lightnin' Malcolm
“Once in a while you witness a birth in this business. A kind of unawareness to the fact that there
are other sounds to be heard that you haven’t yet discovered, or dialects and music that is still
being invented. That is precisely the sound you hear from this Mississippi duo. You give these two
guys 1 instrument each and they can make it sound like a Quartet. Bent deep in the Mississippi
hill country, RL Burnside’s grandson, Cedric has teamed up with the monster guitar talents of
Lightnin’ Malcolm, giving a mixed dose of traditional to modern hill country blues with a new
twist all the way from rock to psychedelic.” --©2007, Dirk Wissbaum Bluessource.com

with
No Strings Attached
The wildly popular No Strings Attached, described by The Washington Post as "one of the more adventurous string ensembles today," has spent almost 30 years honing their skills, riffs, antics, and world-beat syncopation. You’ve heard their composition as the theme song for PRI’s World Café radio program. They’ll be playing at the next Floyd contra, Saturday, Feb. 13, 8 p.m. at the Sun Music Hall for a special Valentine’s eve dance. Shawn Brenneman from Blacksburg is calling.
Band members, Wes Chappell, Bob Thomas, Pete Hastings, and Randy Marchany have completed several European tours, as well as performances at the Kennedy Center and the Pacific Rim International Music Festival in LA, along with an appearance on CBS TV's Morning News program and a number of awards, including a NAIRD Indie award for “Take 5” as best album of the year.Presented byBlue Ridge Country Dancersan all volunteer group affiliate of the non-profitCountry Dance and Song Society, USA
