Juanita Fireball and the Continental Drifters debuted at the Pocahontas Opera House in 2008, although they have been making music together in one form or another for 25 years.   They play the Appalachian string band tunes that they learned years ago from old-timers in West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina, and sing songs about animals, outlaws, fruit and love, with a few gospel numbers for balance.  The high energy of their hard-driving music will have you dancing in the aisles.  The band consists of Mike Burns and Jay Lockman on twin fiddles, Mary Sue Burns on clawhammer banjo, John Sparks and Terry Richardson on guitar, and Wayne Walton on bass. Come prepared to have a good time.

This performance is made possible in part by the generous support of the Law Office of Roger D. Forman.
