The 62nd Season of the Trail of the Lonesome Pine is now underway!
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Virginia’s Official Outdoor Drama, returns to the stage on June 6th and runs through August 9th for its 62nd Annual Season. Situated in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, the Drama is based on the best-selling novel written by local author John Fox, Jr. and tells the story of how coal brought new life to the Appalachian region over a century ago. At the heart of the story, burns the feud between the Tollivers and the Falins, two rival factions who are sworn enemies from decades past. With music, dance, and passionate performances, “The Trail” is known far and wide for its heart-felt romance between a young mountain girl and an engineer who comes to the region in search of coal.

July 5th:
Katie & the Holler Dogs
The pre show for July 5, 2025 for the Lonesome Pine Outdoor Drama will be Katie and The Holler Dogs. Gates open at 6:30 pm with pre show from 6:30-7:15pm. The play will begin at 7:30 pm.
Hailing from the old coal camp hollers of St. Charles, Virginia, Katie and The Holler Dogs consists of fearless leader Katie Bledsoe on lead vocals and guitar, her young and talented sister Cassie Bledsoe on mandolin and vocals, and Earnest Bledsoe on lead guitar and whatever else the song calls for.
From the earliest childhood influences of the acapella harmonies that rang through their papaw’s Primitive Baptist Church, Katie & the Holler Dogs have woven a beautiful musical tapestry that combines shades of honky tonk, country, bluegrass, and punk into some of the most pure, honest sounds you will ever hear.
Throughout a Holler Dogs set you will experience a roller coaster ride of hand clapping, foot stomping joy. It’s been said that when the stars align and the moon is right, that their vocal harmonies will bring a tear to a glass eye. Come experience it for yourself and you just might agree.
