There are only a handful tickets left to see Addie Levy play at the Fishburn Mansion on November 5!

Radford native Addie Levy has emerged as a true multi-talent in the world of music, captivating audiences with her mandolin, voice, songwriting, and fiddling skills. By age 10, she had already embarked on her musical journey, guided by local mentors who imparted the art of Appalachian Old Time, Gospel, and Bluegrass music to her eager spirit. As the years unfurled, she masterfully added guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and upright bass to her arsenal, solidifying her status as a prodigious utility musician. As she enters her 23nd year, Addie continues to tread a path that resonates with tradition while fostering evolution. In 2024, Addie joined in with The Brothers Comatose, an internationally touring bluegrass band from California. In 2025 they released their first album with Addie, titled “Golden Grass” featuring her on mandolin, harmonies, and singing her own song “Blue Mountain.”

This performance is part of the monthly Fishburn Mansion Music Sessions, presented by Friends of the Blue Ridge and Friends of Mountain View.
