Live music in Radford, VA

Enjoy a live performance by Carrie Hinkley at Radford Coffee Company.

At Blacksburg’s Market Square Jam, Gina and Jason Dilg share music rooted in the American string band tradition, delivering lively dance tunes and time-honored country ballads. Based in Radford near Lovely Mount in Southwest Virginia, they lead lives immersed in performance, dance, art, and teaching. Gina grew up in a musical family and has played Southern Appalachian music since childhood. She performs, dances, works as a graphic artist, and teaches fiddle and flatfoot dance. Jason is widely respected for his interpretation of Appalachian dance tunes and ballads, a versatile multi-instrumentalist with many competition honors. He formerly taught banjo as an adjunct at Naropa University and now serves as instructor and director for the Junior Appalachian Musicians program in Montgomery County, Virginia. The duo was recently featured in the PBS docuseries Life in Virginia’s Appalachia: Flatfooting. The Market Square Jam, affiliated with the Crooked Road, centers on traditional old-time music and a welcoming community atmosphere. Musicians gather at Market Square Park to share tunes, spend time with friends and family, and enjoy the character of downtown Blacksburg.
