Some of the best and brightest of a new generation playing traditional Appalachian music, Old Sledge is a trio of young musicians who fiddle tunes and sing songs from the Virginia and West Virginia mountain communities where they make their home. Inspired by the rich traditions around them, they play old hymns and ballads full of joy and sorrow, along with rousing banjo and fiddle tunes from at all-night square dances that have been passed down, one generation to the next, to land at their feet.

Chance McCoy, Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Sabra Guzmán, on fiddle, banjo and guitar, have earned awards for their playing at festivals throughout Appalachia, including first place honors in the 2009 band contest at the Appalachian String Band Festival (WV) and the West Virginia State fiddle, banjo and dulcimer championships.

Members of the band have performed on the BBC, The Kennedy Center, and PBS, and are in demand as teachers of the tradition, serving as faculty at the Cowan Creek Mountain Music School (KY), Augusta Heritage Center’s Old Time Music Week (WV), Allegheny Echoes (WV), and Pinewoods Music & Dance Camp (MA).
