We are pleased to welcome The Special Consensus to our 2010 lineup, marking the band’s first appearance at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. Special Consensus will perform on Saturday & Sunday, July 17 & 18.

The Special Consensus is a four-person acoustic bluegrass band that formed in the Chicago area in 1975. The band repertoire features traditional bluegrass standards, original compositions by band members and professional songwriters, and songs from other musical genres performed in the bluegrass format. The Special C has released 15 recordings and has appeared on numerous National Public Radio programs and cable television shows, including The Nashville Network and the Grand Ole Opry at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. International tours have brought the band to Canada, Europe, South America, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The Special C has appeared in concert with many symphony orchestras nationwide and has brought an informative in-school presentation, the Traditional American Music (TAM) Program, to schools nationally and internationally since 1984.
