Junior Sisk is a proud son of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, and brings raw emotion, timeless authenticity, and a deep respect for tradition to every performance. With roots planted firmly in the sounds of the Stanley Brothers, Larry Sparks, Dave Evans and the Johnson Mountain Boys, his music echoes the heart of classic bluegrass while continuing to push it forward.
Sisk first made his mark as a songwriter in the early 1990s, crafting fan favorites like “The Game I Can’t Win” and “Tears Are Blinding Me” for the Lonesome River Band. He soon moved into the spotlight as a performer with groups like Wyatt Rice & Santa Cruz, Blueridge, and his own band, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice. His 2011 album Heart of a Song was a breakthrough moment, earning IBMA Album of the Year and launching a string of awards, including IBMA Song of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.
Known for his unmistakable voice and hard-driving sound, Sisk has remained a consistent force in bluegrass, with his 2020 album Load the Wagon spending six months at #1 on national charts and drawing critical acclaim.
Sisk is now embracing a new chapter with his latest album, It’s All Fun and Games. Already producing two very successful singles, “Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey” and “Where Love Goes to Die,” this new project offers a fresh dose of high-octane bluegrass that proves tradition never goes out of style.
Doors will open for the show at 6:30 p.m. The concert is part of the NRCC 2025-2026 Concert Series and is a Crooked Road affiliated venue. For more information about this concert, visit www.nr.edu/concerts. Questions may be directed to Tim Jones at (540) 674-3625.
