Old-Time | Mouth of Wilson, Virginia
Nobody’s Business is an Old-Time Stringband that hails from the Grayson Highlands mountain region of Southwest Virginia, where the state borders North Carolina and Tennessee. The band is steeped in the traditions of rural “Old-time” mountain music that has been passed down through generations in this unique area of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Grayson and the surrounding counties in southwestern Virginia remain an epicenter of old-time to this day, and Nobody’s Business is among its most talented current torchbearers.
Nobody’s Business is a mainstay in the SWVA/NWNC music community and is an in-demand dance band that regularly plays regional Square Dances, music festivals and fiddlers conventions along SWVA’s “Crooked Road Music Trail”.
Drawing on a rich regional repertoire and paying homage to the traditions of Bluegrass, Old-Time and early country music, Nobody’s Business are not strangers to entertaining audiences far and wide.
Collectively, the band members have performed at festivals and venues such as The Smithsonian Folk Festival, The Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts, The Library of Congress, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, The Grand Old Opry at The Ryman Auditorium, The National Folk Festival, Merlefest, FOAOTMAD Gainsborough Old-Time Festival, and The Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, Virginia.
The band members are all experienced teachers of the music and have been musical ambassadors of the genre for decades touring around the globe performing at countless music festivals and participating/teaching in cultural music exchange programs in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, Belize, France, The British Isles, Romania, Scotland, UK, just to name a few.
