Song of the Mountains concert returns to the Lincoln Theatre

ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) – The Song of the Mountains concert is returning on Saturday, September 6, to the Lincoln Theatre in Marion.

Song of the Mountain is celebrating their 21st season playing out of Lincoln Theatre.

“We bring bluegrass, old time, acoustic music, gospel, country, a little bit of rock n’ roll from time to time, but basically heavily laced with bluegrass and old time music,” said Tim White, host of the Song of the Mountains.

Rodney Dillard, the last surviving Darling boy from the Andy Griffith Show, will join the festivities on September 6 with his band The Dillards. Officials say the lineup will also include Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers.

“I watched Rodney and the boys on the Andy Griffith Show when I was a kid growing up during the first run,” White recalls when he got to meet Rodney Dillard.

“I call those pinch me moments. It’s really good not only people like, Rodney Dillard and the Darling boys, but I’ve gotten to work with the first generation bluegrassers like Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Jim and Jessie, Mac Wiseman, and most of those guys are gone now. I was just really blessed to be able to share a stage with them.”
