Todd General Store
The Todd General Store is located
10 miles south of West Jefferson and 11 miles north of Boone, off Hwy
194, overlooking the South Fork of the New River, and on Railroad
Grade Road, one of the most scenic bike routes in North Carolina. The
Todd General Store is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places Call 336-877-1067 A community jam music session of Old Time
Mountain music has been a welcome addition to the Store on Friday
nights since summer of 2000. Every Friday night, six to twenty
uncompensated musicians gather at the store to share their love of
music, entertaining 40 to 50 country music lovers. The store literally
vibrates with the sound of guitars, hammered dulcimers, fiddles, and
other acoustical instruments. Every session is unique with new
musicians joining in each week.
Country Cabin II Saturday is the night of choice for music in the hills, so after the first set at the Carter Fold, high-tail it over to the Country Cabin, (276) 679-2632, an hour away on Highway 23 in Norton. Its shows, with local and regional musicians and run by a nonprofit group called Appalachian Traditions, are actually in Country Cabin II. It's a bigger, newer version of the original wood cabin across the street, where locals started dancing to country bands in 1938, and where Dock Boggs, a coal miner who first recorded his white country blues in 1927, played and taught banjo after he was rediscovered in the folk music revival of the 1960's.
