Pocahontas County Opera House is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated annual Opry Night, scheduled for February 17, 2024 at 7:30 PM. The evening is set to feature the finest local and regional talent in old-time music as they recreate beloved favorites with unique twists.

Leading the dynamic ensemble are locals Mike and Mary Sue Burns, revered musicians hailing from Pocahontas County, West Virginia, and members of the popular band Juanita Fireball & the Continental Drifters.

Joining the Burns on the Opera House stage will be the music duo of Rick and Joanne Davidson, originating from Lewisville, North Carolina. With a rich history spanning several old-time mountain music bands, they currently share the stage as part of the group Appalachian Thunder.

Also gracing the Opry Night line-up are respected musical partners Andy and Toni Williams. With roots dating back to The Plank Road String Band and the New Plank Road, they continue to enliven the music scene from their home base in Lexington, Virginia.

Rounding out this assembly of talent is Chris McGrath, a talented old-time fiddle and banjo performer who, after perfecting his craft in New England and Ireland, has made significant contributions to the music community of Virginia.

This group of talented musicians, who have shared stages at numerous festival sessions, will, for the first time, come together as a single ensemble on the Pocahontas County Opera House stage. Adding a new note to our Opry Night tradition, the evening promises to be an unforgettable display of regional talent and the very best of Old-Time Music.
