The sound of the state

Virginia's southwest is where country music found its first recordings: the 1927 Bristol Sessions, on the Tennessee line, recorded the Carter Family from Maces Spring, Virginia. The state also gave music Patsy Cline and Ella Fitzgerald. Bluegrass radio, Washington DC radio and country radio go further.

Listening from elsewhere

Virginia keeps Eastern time — five hours behind UTC in winter and four in summer.
