Name of band?  Old Sledge

Where are you based?  Floyd and Eggleston, Virginia

Where do you typically tour or perform?  Mostly on the East Coast, sometimes out West and Europe; next year we’re touring Canada, we get around.

What’s your most recent CD? Our first EP, it’s great, buy it, listen to it, love it.

Who are your musical influences? Lots of old timers, mostly from the 1930s. Most of our favorite musicians are dead.

Who are some musical acts that sound like you? Mmmm, we hate this question, how about Old Crow Medecine Show or Uncle Earl? Nah, you figure it out.

Why should I come see you at the festival?  Because you will be overcome by the urge to tap your feet if not downright dance, but please resist the urge to rush the stage, we have body guards, very tough large body guards.

When will you be playing? Saturday at 3:15-4 p.m. and Sunday at 12:45-1:15 p.m. & 3:15-3:45 p.m. in the Dance Tent. Y’all come.

What are you most looking forward to about playing at FloydFest?  Our fiddle player recently moved to Floyd! We prefer playing locally because it gives us a break from being on the road. We love playing outside at festivals and we dig what Floydfest is all about.
