An all-star bluegrass supergroup unites for the first time to honor the legacy of the legendary Stanley Brothers at the Jettie Baker Center in Clintwood, 348 Clintwood Main Street, on Tuesday, June 12 at 7 p.m. This ground-breaking event is part of The Crooked Road’s 2018 Mountains of Music Homecoming. 

The Stanley Brothers All-Star Band brings together for the first time six great musicians who music and lives have been shaped by the musical legacy of the Stanley Brothers. This stellar line-up includes fiddler and DeweyFest founder Dewey Brown, championship banjo player Tommy Brown, bassist and member of the Clinch Mountain Boys Randall Hibbitts, acclaimed mandolinist and first director of the Kentucky Center of Traditional Music Don Rigsby, multiple award-winning bluegrass vocalist and guitarist Junior Sisk, and Ralph Stanley II, son of the late Dr. Ralph Stanley, on guitar. Clintwood was selected as the location for this concert since it is also the location of the Ralph Stanley Museum and Dickenson County: The historic home of Dr. Ralph and Carter Stanley.
