About the Group
About The Group The Vagabonds were an early star act on WSM's Grand Ole Opry in the 1930s. The act was a bit different in that they had a "Traveling Unit". They wrote that it was organized so that radio audience could see in person the outstanding acts of the Opry. They said their show was a "theatrical production" and not just an amateur routine of radio talent. Much time and money was said to have been spent so that the audience could see the "true personality" of each of the performers. Each performer in this show was said to be a true native of the hills of Tennessee and not a synthetic product which you so often saw in theatres in the larger cities in this country. The Vagabonds' Traveling Show appeared in some of the best theatres in the country and was said to always have attracted large crowds. Back in the mid-1930s, the show was produced and booked under the management of the Old Cabin Company, Inc., Hitchcock Building, out of Nashville, Tennessee. Credits & Sources
