[Act2-Thanks for the Steve Holly tune. He is great. Love Allan Jackson-did he do "It's 5 Oclock Somewhere"? I played that at a music gig last week and folks went nuts over it.
Let me know when your bluegrass festival is and we might come down. I love that stuff.
polar bear, our free bluegrass festival is in August. The ROMP festival in Owensboro is in June, I think. I will look up the exact dates and post later. Also, it is Steve HOLY, yes, as in holy, holy, holy !!!!
And yes, Alan Jackson does 'it's 5 oclock somewhere' and I bet the crowd went nuts!!!
Here is Alan singing at the Grand Ole Opry last month.
Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival
Get Ready for the 22nd Annual Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival !
We are pleased to announce that Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival will be held on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, August 9 - 11, 2007, in Audubon Mill Park, Henderson, Kentucky.
This will mark the 22nd annual festival which is hosted by the Henderson Area Arts Alliance and the Henderson Rotary Club.
The festival will feature great Bluegrass music, wonderful food, an incredible location - right on the banks of the Ohio River - folklife exhibitors, children's activities, a tennis tournament, a bicycle tour, and much, much more.
Best of all, there is no admission charge! That’s right – all you have to do to be thoroughly entertained is “show up.” Bring your lawn chairs or your blanket – we’re not much on formality – then be prepared to be entertained by some of the most preeminent Bluegrass bands you will ever have the pleasure to hear. Bluegrass music and the smell of great food saturate the air on Friday and Saturday (August 10-11), but………
There’s more! On Thursday night, August 9, join us for our kickoff event -- Fiesta in the Park. You’ll hear some great Texas Swing, in the fashion of Bob Wills - pick a partner and dance the two-step! And you’ll get a smattering of the exciting sounds of authentic Mexican Mariachi music. To top it off, there will be a delicious Tex-Mex BBQ with all the trimmings!
Not enough? Well, how about……
Fascinating Kentucky Folklife displays, artisans, luthiers, activities, lectures, and musicians on Saturday morning.
Breakfast in the Park on Saturday morning.
The Pickin & Pedalin Bicycle Tour on Saturday.
Children’s activities Thursday evening and again Saturday morning.
Bluegrass Hat Tennis Tournament.
Mark your calendar! Plan your trip! You won't find a better Bluegrass event anywhere, and you sure can't beat our price.
We invite you to Henderson, Kentucky to experience and enjoy it all with us! See you here!
