VOLUME 15 ISSUE 2 GRASS CLIPPINGS PAGE 3 TUCSON ' 11 TH A NNUAL D ESERT B LUEGRASS F ESTIVAL Hi Bluegrass Fans Plans for our 11 th festival are coming together - thanks to our festival committee. As reported in the last issue of Grass Clippings, the festival will be October 29-31, 2010 at the AVA Amphitheater. Since then we have signed our bands (insert drum roll here). They are: Russell More & IIIrd Tyme Out: This band has walked away with IBMA's "Vocal Group of the Year" award 7 consecutive years. Their a capella renditions cannot be matched and their superb instrumentation suppliments their rich vocal blend. This "supergroup" is one of bluegrass music's most recognized and in-demand bands and we are please to welcome them to our stage. Special Consensus, led by our friend Greg Cahill, is celebrating their 35 th anniversary of playing great bluegrass music by making a return apearance to our festival. They approach our hallowed music with boundless energy and an aesthetic reverence that tickles the ribs, tugs at the heart, and puts a restless two-step in boots and bare feet. Palmer Divide is coming from Colorado. Their well crafted lyrics, rock solid instrumentation, and tight 3 part harmonies reflect their deep respect of traditional bluegrass music and well as their desire to create a modern acoustic sound that is all their own. X Train, a band of Arizona superstars, will delight you. OK you don’t recognize the name but you will recognize the performers. Our own National Flatpicking Champ, Peter McLaughlin, is teaming up with banjo wizard, Ross Nickerson - and they will be joined by Mark Miracle, Thomas Porter and Bob Denoncourt. How great is that? Tangled Strings , our friends from up the road in Phoenix, won our band contest last year and won the right to entertain us this year as one of our featured bands. Jam Pak Blues ‘N’ Grass Band, led by the amazing Anni Beach. will delight us for the 10 th year. What else can I say – you got to see them. The band contest will be the best ever – guaranteed or we will gladly refund your price of admission. Staged Friday evening on the beautiful AVA Amphitheater stage with spotlights, Old Blue Sound and a large, enthusiastic audience, this is the perfect place to showcase your band. $1.000 in prize money and bragging rights are at stake. Plus the top four bands get to perform during prime time. If you have a band, submit you application ASAP, start practicing and invite your friends. If not, just show up and invite your friends anyway. Bring your instruments and sign up for the “Drop of the Hat” band scramble, which we hold while our judges figure out who won. As always, audience admission to the band contest is free. So mark your calendars and make your plans. You may follow our progress on our brand new Facebook page – “Tucson’s Annual Desert Bluegrass Festival”. Check it out, give a “thumbs-up” and share with your friends. This is a great way to help spread the news. This festival is shaping up to be our best yet and that is saying a lot.

The band is comprised of four of the most talented and promising acoustic roots musicians in the country. Patrick McAvinue, one of the most in-demand and highly respected bluegrass fiddlers in the country, takes charge with his virtuosic, powerful and musical approach to the fiddle. Clawhammer banjo wizard Brad Kolodner adds his playful, driving, melodic and groovy Old-Time touch. Sean McComiskey, an incredibly talented Irish button accordion player, soars through the tunes and fills the gaps with his soulful playing. The versatile bassist Alex Lacquement drives the train, locking everything together with his commanding and tasteful choices. Drawing from separate musical backgrounds, the four members have found a common ground on which to develop their unique approach. Charm City Junction embodies the essence of what acoustic roots music is all about, a shared and burning passion for blazing new trails while respecting the tradition. They are torchbearers with a clear message that the future of acoustic music is in good hands.

  • Hollywood VFD to Host Annual Bluegrass Festival Fundraiser
    Hollywood VFD to host annual bluegrass festival fundraiser Posted by Alan Van Wormer On 04/15/2018 HOLLYWOOD, Md. - The Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad will present its annual Bluegrass Festival on Saturday May 12, 2018 at the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds. Gates open at 11 am and the show starts at Noon. Weather permitting, the event will be held outside. All proceeds from the day’s event will go toward the Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad Building Fund. “Honoring tradition through innovation”, that’s Audie Blaylocks (pictured right) motto. His mellow, wailing tenor and lightning-fast guitar picking have made him one of the names to watch in the world of traditional bluegrass. There’s something in a name; and Redline, the name of Audie Blaylock’s hot-shot band, could not be more fitting. Blaylock's vision for his sound involves an occasional glance in the rear view mirror, but with a heavy foot planted firmly on the accelerator, his music has a way of driving hard into the future. Audie Blaylock’s musical journey is a familiar one in bluegrass music, having grown up in an Appalachian musical family, his musical education started early and led to him sharing the stage with some of bluegrass’ finest and most respected artists, including first generation bluegrass character and giant, Jimmy Martin, as well as Red Allen, Harley Allen, Lynn Morris, Michael Cleveland, and Rhonda Vincent. Yet a true artist is never content in the passenger’s seat, and this is where Blaylock’s path diverges from the familiar, well-beaten path on this old mountain side.
