- Drawing inspiration from the rich string band culture of the Virginia-Carolina Blue Ridge region, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee bring together old time mountain music, traditional bluegrass, and early country music to produce a uniquely authentic old time sound.
The Floyd County-based string band plays regularly for dances and festivals around the country and they have won many contests including the old time band contest at the 85th Annual Old Fiddlers’ Convention in Galax, VA and the bluegrass band contest at the 51st Mount Airy Fiddlers’ Convention in NC. They have had the honor of performing for two governors of the state of Virginia and are regularly featured at historic venues along The Crooked Road - Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail.
Featuring Andrew Small on mandolin and fiddle, Trevor Holder on the 5-string banjo, Ashlee Watkins on guitar, Rina Rossi on bass, and AJ Srubas on fiddle, the Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee’s powerful harmony singing and energetic instrumentals have made them one of Southwest Virginia’s favorite string bands. - Zábava
Some of the best bluegrass I have ever heard . Great job all of you .
I just discovered you guys! Absolutely amazing music. True bluegrass/old time music on steroids!

There's good bluegrass and then there's authentic bluegrass. This is GOOD BLUEGRASS & AUTHENTIC BLUEGRASS!!
Well if that ain’t the finest old time string band on that there CZcams…..then I don’t know what is. That’s great feel good old time music. Thank you folks.
My favourites at Australia's biggest folk festival at Woodford in December 2023. Hundreds of musicians performing at Woodford; they were outstanding.
Mighty fine picking and singing! Sorry to see that Ashlee broke her ankle-but it hasn’t affected her guitar skills any-brilliant as always.
They so nail that early bluegrass sound! AJ and Rina make a nice fit too!
Awesome set. Great songs and musicianship. Have a great time in NZ in 24'
Looking forward to seeing you in Auckland tomorrow night!
Having lived in Roanoke, Va many years ago I’m now reminded of Don Reno and Red Smiley and Mac Wiseman and some of the early bluegrass bands of that era. Just pure bluegrass around one Mike. So good to watch them perform. Jim and Jesse and Allen Shelton would be proud.

Can't beat them Ear Trumpet Lab mics.
The banjo player Excellent playing and nice outfit.
Greatest band of all times
With ashley speaking i hear accent nz ?
No, not NZ! Ashlee is from Australia.
The only way this could be better is to actually hear the bass.
I've got a Kenwood 50 watt per channel amplifier connected to my computer, the bass sounds great to me!
