Trish Fore and The Wildcats

Trish Fore & The Wildcats specialize in playing hard-driving, traditional, old-time instrumental music from the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia and northwest North Carolina. Composed of Trish Fore on clawhammer banjo; Kevin Fore on fiddle; Kyle Dean Smith on guitar; and Chris Johnson on bass, these folks will have your feet moving at the square dance. Trish enjoys carrying on the clawhammer banjo tradition and likes doing something generations of her family did before her, though they lived in very different times. Over the years she has played with groups including the Farmers’ Daughters, Blue Ridge Mountain Ramblers, and Benton Flippen and the Smokey Valley Boys.
