Description:
We were formed in 2003 to play the music for "Tom Dooley, A Wilkes County Legend" which is shown by The Wilkes Playmakers every year during the month of July. We have five (5) CD's recorded and are staying very busy playing. We no longer do the music for "Tom Dooley: A Wilkes County Legend" and are doing more festivals and other gig's in North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee.
