Congratulations, Donna Talmage

burdette — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:47:03 +0000

The winner of the full festival ticket that we gave away at Joe Val Festival last weekend is Donna Talmage of Merrimac, MA. We played phone tag for a bit, but we finally caught up with her yesterday. She’s never been to Grey Fox, is really looking forward to it and has already arranged to bring a friend with her.

On her entry form Donna wrote that she wants to see the Greencards, so we know she has great taste in music! She also told us that after seeing Doyle Lawson for the first time this year at Joe Val, she’s pumped to see him again. Oh, and the Gibson Brothers are one of her favorite bands. So, congratulations, Donna. We’re sure you’re gonna love Grey Fox!

Our next ticket giveaway will be on Facebook on February 29 — Leap Year! If you’re not yet a fan, jump on over and sign up. You’ll be automatically in the running for a free ticket. We’ll be doing a drawing at the end of each month leading up to Grey Fox. Good luck now.

We have to say it again, cuz we’re jazzed: Grey Fox is winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s “Bluegrass Event of the Year” award. Come see why!

Buddy Merriam Returns to Grey Fox

burdette — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:07:47 +0000

Grey Fox welcomes Buddy Merriam & Back Roads to the 2010 lineup. A mighty fine Monroe-style mandolin player, Buddy was struck by lightning on the Rothvoss Farm in 1976 at the first Berkshire Mtn BG Festival. When Buddy regained consciousness, Bill Monroe was there hovering over him! Imagine that! Well, that moment changed Buddy’s life. He became friends with Monroe and learned his technique directly from him. Back Roads—now celebrating its 30th anniversary—will be at Grey Fox on Thursday, July 15. You can also listen to Buddy’s radio show, Bluegrass Time, every Wed from 6-8 pm on WUSB-fm. Check out more of the Grey Fox lineup!

Hillbenders added to Grey Fox lineup

burdette — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:55:21 +0000

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!

Crooked Still Gig in Albany Jan 8

burdette — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:27:37 +0000

Don’t miss Crooked Still on Fri, Jan 8 at 8:00 PM in the Swyer Theatre at The Egg in Albany NY. Small theatre (450 seats). Still great seats available at reasonable price. The band has been in the studio creating a new album that should be out in a few months. Hopefully we will get a taste of some of that. They put on a great show at Grey Fox last summer and we are lucky enough to be getting two days of them this coming summer (Thursday and Friday) in Oak Hill. Hope to see you there. — Robert Lugo, Oak Hill, NY
