History

In 2000, the Alabama Department of Transportation rerouted U.S. Highway 280 south of the town of Waverly instead of routing the highway through town. [7] If the State of Alabama had gone ahead with its original plan, the town of Waverly would have ceased to exist. [1]

To celebrate saving the town, residents in 2001 decided to hold an annual "Waverly Boogie" (or "Old 280 Boogie"), a multi-cultural festival typically held on the third Saturday in April to exhibit a wide variety of musicians and visual artists. The event is held on the grounds of Standard Deluxe Studios. [7]

Additionally, in 2014, Standard Deluxe hosted its first annual Heart of Waverly Bluegrass Festival. [9] [10] Performers included Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, Packway Handle Band, Dread Clampitt, Dead Winter Carpenters, Dooley's Blue Revue and Blackbird Pickers.
