Craig County Boys

Celebrating 38 Years of Great Bluegrass Music!

Welcome to the Craig County Boys bluegrass band.

Thank you for taking some time to visit with us.

In 2005, the Craig County Boys celebrated their 35th anniversary of playing traditional bluegrass music together with a new album - Springtime on the Mountain. You can listen to samples of the songs on this album at our online retailer, CDbaby.com. Now we're playing strong in our 38th year.

The band was founded in 1970 by lead singer/guitarist/songwriter James Christian and mandolinist Donnie Myers, which makes the band the most enduring of Southwest Virginia groups. We have a distinctive sound that derives from the powerful lead vocals of James Christian and the lyrical mix of their instrumentalists and harmonies. The Craig County Boys is one of the most active bluegrass groups in the Roanoke, Virginia area, playing everywhere from fancy banquets to concerts to private parties, bluegrass festivals, and old country churches. We have a large following of fans, friends, and family who love their music and appreciate the band's commitment to keeping traditional bluegrass alive and kickin'!

The Craig County Boys have three CDs available, including the new Springtime on the Mountain. To hear some of their music and to find links where you can buy their albums online, visit OLDE SURBER STATION RADIO.
