1950s Rockabilly Makes Virginia History in New Exhibition at Blue Ridge Institute & Museum at Ferrum College

Elvis Presley may (or may not) be dead, but he and a host of early rock 'n rollers live on in Virginia Rocks: The History of Rockabilly in the Commonwealth, now on display at the Blue Ridge Institute & Museum at Ferrum College.  Rockabilly grabbed the nation by the ears in the early 1950s and kept shaking for nearly a decade.  Over 60 Virginia artists cut rockabilly records, and Virginia Rocks puts them and the King himself in a new spotlight.  Virginia Rocks runs through March 2010.  Admission is free.
