Blythe, CA Bluegrass Festival

Thursday, January 26, 2012 @6:20:58 AM


I did a little M.C.'ing at the 25th annual Blythe Bluegrass Festival this past weekend.  There were many incredible bands and enjoyed visiting with many old friends, including some fellow BHO members, including NICK HORNBUCKLE of "John Reischman And The Jaybirds."

Some of the other bands performing there included Michael Cleveland And Flamekeeper, Audie Blaylock And Redline, Cody Shuler And Pine Mountain Railroad, The Spinney Brothers, Kenny And Amanda Smith Band, The Special Consensus, Mark Phillips And IIIrd Generation, Lonesome Otis, Hwy. 65, and Just 4 Fun.

All in all, it was a good three days of bluegrass music.

We'll be there! Just spent the past two weekends with Roger Starnes and the rest of the band at two festivals: Blythe and Pinal County, AZ. Good folks!
