How about that?? Two people from different towns, with the same last name won FRONT ROW tickets to see the Gibson Brothers Band this Saturday in Poughkeepsie. Tim Mitchell, of Peru, NY and Kate Mitchell, of Bloomingburg, NY are the lucky winners. The concert is Saturday, April 17 at 7:00pm at the Poughkeepsie Day School… presented by the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association and sponsored in part by Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival. Too Blue will open for the Gibson Brothers. For more information, log onto the HVBA website.

Winners of the Telluride Band Contest, the Hillbenders will perform at Grey Fox on Thursday & Friday, July 16 & 17. These five diversely influenced musicians from all over the country now make Springfield, MO their home, where they all write and arrange their unique brand of bluegrass music. Slightly reminiscent of New Grass Revival, yet extremely original, we feel Grey Fox fans will love the Hillbenders’ edgy songs and dynamic stage presence. Click to watch their videos. But, be forewarned, you really have to SEE the Hillbenders to get the whole picture, so catch their shows at Grey Fox this summer. Check out the Grey Fox lineup!

PDFs of the Main Stage, Masters Stage, Dance Pavilion and Family Stage are now available. Visit our Schedule Page to download these recently posted files. New news: We are pleased to be bringing back Jim Christensen to teach Cajun and Swing dance at the Dance Pavilion. And the fabulous Angel Band will be presenting a vocal workshop at the Masters Stage on Friday at 6pm. Not to be missed. These ladies can SING — and they’ll be backed up by the amazing David Bromberg! http://www.angelband.net/ Enjoy! Mary

Wow! What a great response already, everyone. In less than a day, we have some WONDERFUL stories: some going back to 1976, some about Bill Monroe, some about great friends you’ve met over the years, some very funny stuff, all very touching memories. Keep ‘em comin’! —- Thanks, Mary
