Market Square Jam – Gina and Jason Dilg
Gina and Jason Dilg are based in Radford, near Lovely Mount in Southwest Virginia, where they perform foot-stomping dance tunes and old country ballads from the American string band tradition, music that permeates their lives through performance, dance, art, and teaching. Gina, raised in a family of musicians, has played Southern Appalachian music since childhood and is a musician, dancer, and graphic artist who teaches fiddling and flatfoot dance. Jason is a highly respected interpreter of Appalachian dance tunes and ballads, a versatile multi-instrumentalist with numerous competition honors, former adjunct banjo instructor at Naropa University, and current instructor and director of the Junior Appalachian Musicians program in Montgomery County, Virginia. Together, they were recently featured in the PBS docuseries Life in Virginia’s Appalachia: Flatfooting.
