Win Tix to Tony Rice on May 13 in Poughkeepsie NY

Tony Rice

Enter to win tickets to Tony Rice Concert in Poughkeepsie, NY on May 13. Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival is thrilled to be partnering with Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association as HVBA presents one of the most innovative and versatile guitarists of all time.

The great Tony Rice spans the range of acoustic music, from straight-ahead bluegrass to jazz-influenced new acoustic music, to songwriter-oriented folk. He has been called the greatest innovator in acoustic flatpicked guitar since Clarence White. Over the course of his career, he has played alongside J.D. Crowe and the New South, David Grisman (during the formation of Dawg Music), led his own groups, collaborated with fellow picker Norman Blake and recorded with his brothers.

Advanced tickets:  $20/Members, $25/Non-Members (ends April 30) and at the Door: $25/Members, $30/Non-Members. Concert is at Christ Church, Poughkeepsie, NY at 7:30 pm. For complete details about this event, tickets, directions, etc. visit www.hvbluegrass.org

You MIGHT just be the lucky winner of a pair of tickets to see Tony Rice live in concert! And your chances have doubled: HVBA has generously offered Grey Fox two pairs of tickets for this contest, so there will be two winners! To enter, simply sign up for the Grey Fox Mailing List. Be sure to type in TONY RICE CONTEST for the last question (What Bands Would You Like to See?). To enter, click on Grey Fox Mailing List.

While you’re at it – and feelin’ lucky – LIKE us on Facebook. Each month Grey Fox gives away a full festival ticket, camping included, to one our friends on facebook.com/greyfoxbluegrass. You never know who the lucky winner will be!!! It might be you! Grey Fox is July 14-17, 2011 on the Walsh Farm, Oak Hill, NY featuring an amazing Who’s Who of Bluegrass Music. Buy tickets.
