International New Grass Festival August 20, 2009

Newgrass music draws heavily on the variety of music forms that came before, but has long been recognized as it's own distinct musical genre. After 38 years or more since the recognition of newgrass music as a unique and highly advanced artform, we're ready to enjoy a newgrass festival. Our festival location is where Sam Bush [father of newgrass] was born and grew up, where Courtney Johnson lived out his life, where Courtney's wife Hazel still resides, where John Cowan once lived, and where Curtis Burch lives and teaches the next generation today. Beautiful Kentucky. We believe those who attend this premiere newgrass event will be the | true fans | of newgrass. As true fans, you have been waiting a long time to enjoy this event. We are working to make your attendance and participation in this festival as easy, affordable, enjoyable and convenient as we can. See the Orchestra Kentucky of BG play with Curtis Burch for an added layer of enjoyment. Let us know. If you have any questions or suggestions | please email us at ngfest@gmail.com Look forward to celebrating newgrass music with everybody in August | thanks for your support.
