Two of my sisters have going to this one for some years now, (Palatka) and the one that isn't already down south is probably taxiing to the runway in Vancouver as I type this and on her way.

Contrary to the historic East - West migration of traditional Scots - Irish music, and that music evolving into American roots music, your friend and mine Steve Earle obviously struck a chord with the Irish.

Playing our bar this weekend, and no doubt the festival circuit this summer:

After issues preventing me getting to the Darrington Bluegrass festival, I have hopes of making it this year.
Bluegrass gets a mention in the Guardian.

Re: Anyone ever been to a Bluegrass festival?
I discovered bluegrass by pure accident on SiriusXM
Then wifey & I were at the Desert Botanical Gardens one December evening - they'd some light show thingy going. With bands of various flavors. There was a local bluegrass band playing - loved it - bought a couple CDs and everything! Even wifey's quite in to it.
Enjoy if you do get to see any live performances.

Maybe not quite as good as the more famous version by a more famous band, but not bad...

Re: Anyone ever been to a Bluegrass festival?
I have noticed a number of Bluegrass festivals in Washington, I am next to ignorant about the music, but it is something that I might enjoy being educated on, if Washington has a bunch of them, I am guessing states further East and South must have even more. So has anyone been to any?
There is one in Darrington right in the mountains and some further East, in Washington "monsters dwell here" territory.
I'd like to know peoples experience, how was it? What kind of crowd go? My presuppositions are split between hippy folk types, and scary redneck types.

I personally hate the music

If you think I'm letting the bluegrass thread die you don't know me at all.
