Virginia's The Floyd Country Store - Harmonizing Music & Community

Published May 3rd, 2024

During a week-long road trip in Virginia, part of our adventure brought is to Floyd, a small town that’s bursting with charm. What’s there to do in Floyd, Virginia, you ask? While we only spent one night there, it was one of the most memorable nights in my travel career.

Floyd, Virginia is home to the famous Floyd Country Store and even more famously, the Friday Night Jamboree, a tradition that celebrates 40 years in 2024.
Music is a universal language and that reverberates here. Even though we were likely the only two people who were from out of town, we were welcomed like locals by locals and got up and danced to the sweet sounds.

In this exclusive interview held right after the performance, co-owner Dylan Locke shares his experiences and the importance of the Floyd Country Store, along with what the next 10 years looks like.

He and his wife, Heather, have owned it since October 31, 2014 and have expanded offerings to include The Handmade Music School and increased accessibility to locals and visitors.

We attended the fantastic Friday Night Jamboree in late April 2024 and it's something everyone should experience at least once - definitely a bucket list item!
