The New Floyd County Ramblers are a Southwest Virginia string band known for their high-energy old-time dance music that keeps regional traditions alive. They recently took first prize at the 53rd Annual Mount Airy Bluegrass & Old Time Fiddlers Convention, a major nod to their authenticity and skill.
They’re part of a broader musical ecosystem that includes collaborations with groups like Ashlee Watkins & Andrew Small and The Alum Ridge Boys, all of whom draw inspiration from the Virginia-Carolina Blue Ridge region. Their sound blends traditional bluegrass, early country, and old-time mountain music into a uniquely Appalachian groove.
