Lots of folks remember dances in the lower level of Schoolfield Hall years ago. The popular band Larry Sigmon and the Virginia Girls is ready to do it up right on November 14. They appeared recently in Ferrum at the Blue Ridge Folklife Festival and Arts & Crafts Show, and Larry Sigmon was honored by the college’s Appalachian Music program at the 2024 Grand Ol’ Ferrum Opry. They have performed often at the Floyd Country Store and many other venues and festivals.
The members of the band are Heather Krantz – guitar and vocals, Larry Sigmon – banjo and vocals, Nickie Wright – mandolin, vocals, and fiddle, and Susan Blankenship on bass. Blankenship, a regular at Ferrum’s Monday Music Jams, has performed a number of times with Ferrum College’s Jack Tale Players and in productions of the Blue Ridge Dinner Theatre. In December, she will reprise her role for the fourth time as the feisty and bossy Penelope Possum in Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas.
