Mountain Music Makers will be playing in Leeman Field in Pennington Gap as part of a fundraiser event for Stickleyville Elementary School. A love of old time music led several members of the Mountain Music Makers to Mountain Empire
Community College in Big Stone Gap, VA where they sought to learn to play the clawhammer banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin and upright bass. Eventually they came together in the string band class offered by the college where they developed a lasting friendship with other musicians who would one day become a part of the Mountain Music Makers. In 2006, the Mountain Music Makers was formed. The band's instruments include the guitar, autoharp, dulcimer, banjo,upright bass, mandolin, fiddle and bowed psaltery. Each member has the ability to play more than one instrument. The group performs a blend of old time and
bluegrass songs. Several songs are original compositions written by Joey O'Quinn and Larry Mullins, each in his unique style.
