#15 -- wow!
Hard to believe this was our 15th annual! What a fabulous weekend of
music and fun! The rains wrapped up on Friday afternoon and the
weekend was perfect for two days of incredible music. Big thanks to
everyone who made it such a success. If you missed it, we hope to see
you next year for "Sweet 16."
on stage...
Both the Friday evening and Saturday lineups were filled with top-notch national, regional and local bluegrass performers. GREAT music was provided by:
+ Special Consensus - Award-winning Chicago band returned!
+ The Travelers - Super group of bluegrass veterans debuted!
+ The Kody Norris Show - Traditional sounds from RFD-TV!
+ Lonesome Meadow - Excellent family band from Ohio returned!
+ The Allegheny Drifters -
Pittsburgh's very own vocal masters!
+ Border Ride - Great Ohio / PA band returned!
+ Colebrook Road - Award-winning regional band from central Pa.!
+ Hidden Drive - Popular family-based Ohio band returned!
Our buddy Bruce Mountjoy, host of WYEP-FM's
long-running "Bluegrass Jam Session" radio show, and Ligonier's Jeff Bell served as
emcees,
both
keeping the show on schedule and adding that "certain something" to the
festivities (whatever that may be). First class sound (digital this year!) was once again provided
by
Don, Ginger, and Steve of Soaring Eagle Productions, Bedford, PA.
(They
got tons of compliments on the great sound from both the fans and
performers.)
BIG THANKS FROM THE FIREMEN!
