CA surfing the net to acquire this information this year. Page 2 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Whoaaaa .... someone please put the brakes on! This summer is rolling past like the fingers of a banjo picker, playing Earl's Breakdown in double time. Despite having a few items checked off my summer list of things to do, there is so much more left undone. Somebody once told me that the older you get, the faster time flys ... many retirees I talk to, say they are busier now than when they worked, and wonder aloud, how they ever had time to work. Despite my ainxt about unfinished business, I have managed to enjoy more than just a few lazy, hazy, days, at bluegrass festivals. Seated in my lawnchair, with the sounds of three part harmony washing over me ... For me, that's when the passage of time, seems to slow a bit. The rhythm of life pulses with noticeably less stress. The dog pants intermittently, the buzz of the Pine Beatles rises and falls in cresendo and diminuendo ... and there I am, transported back in time. Take away the amps and the RVs, and this could be the way it was, even long before my time. Canada has a rich history of bluegrass, which (as I have pointed out before) was mainstream country not so long ago. I embrace this heritage, and it's cultural diversity. Aspects of gospel, folk, celtic, fiddle, and more, are all now incorporated into the bluegrass genre. Musical skills and traditions passed down through generations, still course through the fingers ofthe players, as they per­ form set after set of new and traditional songs. Some of the players are first generation musicians, who have taken to bluegrass as if it were some vital component of their genetic code. Isn't it? Aren't we all looking to reconnect with a part of our history, that isn't fraught with synthetic rhythms, pounding drum machines, ear-splitting bass, and looped-over pitch-corrected vocal feats of engineering? Bluegrass is real. There are no gimmicks! It is something that can be perfomed live and un-plugged, and sound consistently organic. What you hear on an al­ bum, is essentially what you hear on stage. No kareokee here! If kids these days spent half as much time playing a real guitar, rather than playing Guitar Hero video games, they would be virtuo­ so performers. That is why I verily believe that festivals need to include participatory events for children. For example, the last festival I attended was Rivervalley; the festival mascot dresses in costume, gives kids musical instruments and instruction, and as the bands play on-stage, the kids form a line and weave in and out of the crowd, on and off stage, and dance and sing ... Although it may not be a conscious act, the seeds of bluegrass are being planted. And with the demographic shift with the blue-haired­ crowd fading out, new, young, and enthusiastic kids are learning about history and life, and music and values. This is what life is all about. When I'm dead and gone from this world, what will be left, but the seeds I planted for the next gene­ rations. Sometimes my wife tries to tell me, that bluegrass is not a matter of life and death ... and I agree ... it's more important than that.

  • Steep Canyon Rangers Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2, 2017
    Media Contact: Casey Blake 480-644-6620 [email protected] Steep Canyon Rangers Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2, 2017 Mesa, AZ (October 5, 2017) – GRAMMY® Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers will perform live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and available at the Mesa Arts Center box office, MesaArtsCenter.com or by calling 480-644-6500. Steep Canyon Rangers effortlessly walk the line between festival favorite and sophisticated string orchestra. They’re as danceable as the most progressive, party-oriented string band, and equally comfortable translating their songs for accompaniment by a full symphony. It’s that mix of serious chops and good-natured fun that earned the Steep Canyon Rangers the GRAMMY® Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2013 (for "Nobody Knows You"), and that drew celebrated comedian/banjoist Steve Martin to them when he needed a backing band. The Rangers are world-class musicians who are just as at home taking the stage at Carnegie Hall as they are knee-deep in a mountain brook, fly rod in hand. It has been more than fifteen years and nine studio albums since the Steep Canyon Rangers formed in Chapel Hill. The band received rave reviews for their last album (the Jerry Douglas- produced "Radio"), with No Depression commenting that it is "one of those albums that’s packed with hits."
