<p>Legendary country singer Ralph Stanley returns to The Barns at Wolf Trap for the first time in over a decade along with his troupe, The Clinch Mountain Boys. Born and raised in Virginia, Stanley has navigated an epic music career of more than six decades. Early on, he formed The Stanley Brothers duo alongside his older brother Carter, with whom Stanley toured and recorded for 20 years.
