• Live music by Ray Adams and Elizabeth Galloway
Ray Adams will be playing traditional old-time mountain music on fiddle. He will be joined by Elizabeth Galloway on guitar, another of our wonderful local musicians. Both Ray and Elizabeth are multi-instrumentalists and have been playing traditional music in our area for years. We are delighted to have them back at the market to play their crowd-pleasing, old-timey, mountain dance music and waltzes.
