Description
Pierceton Hobbs was reared near the headwaters of the Big Sandy River in Dickenson County, Virginia. From an early age, he was interested in traditional music and quickly learned guitar and banjo from his dad and papaw. The 26 year-old is directly influenced by musicians, ballad singers and storytellers who have lived in the shadow of the Pine Mountain Ridge. Currently, Pierceton coordinates the Junior Appalachian Musicians program in Dickenson County and performs with folks across the Appalachian region.
