About
David Wade & Black Mountain is rooted in the foothills of Central Virginia, where the timeless sounds of bluegrass and Appalachian tradition run deep. Blending heartfelt originals, high-energy pickin’, and soulful harmonies, we bring a fresh voice to classic roots music.
Drawing inspiration from mountain trails, front porch jams, and the enduring spirit of American folk, our music pays homage to the past while forging new ground. Whether it's a driving instrumental, a tender ballad, or a foot-stomping singalong, our sets are crafted with that old timey type of music.
We’re proud to share our sound with audiences near and far. Check out our music, get to know the band, and find out where we’re playing next.
