Virginia Rocks! The History of Rockabilly in the Commonwealth August 28, 2010

Virginia Rocks! The History of Rockabilly in the Commonwealth—a traveling exhibition organized
by the Blue Ridge Institute & Museum of Ferrum College—looks at the more than 60 artists and bands from all over the
state who cut 45 rpm rockabilly records in small recording studios and radio stations in the 1950s and early 1960s. The
exhibit explores well-known musicians like Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline, but also includes Virginia artists Janis Martin,
Phil Gray, the Rock-A-Teens, the Dazzlers, and many more who may have only had one or two popular hits.
