My first exposure to bluegrass music was at the Rooney Fest with my dentist of all people.  Bluegrass is a pure form of music and if done true to its roots, is played acoustically with no electric instruments.

 

If you're a bluegrass lover or your experience with the music form is more a curiosity, you might want to check out the 2015 Penny Midwinter Bluegrass Festival Saturday, March 7th from 11am-6pm at the Vestal American Legion, behind Kohl's on Jensen Road.

The cost for this day of music is $8 for members and $10 for non-members.

Bands include:  Gospel Way, Spare Parts, Slewfoot, Slygo Creek, Go Big or Go Home, Supper Pickers, and a Grand Finale Pick-Up.

f you're a musician and want to show off your pickin' style, you'll have that opportunity Sunday too so bring your instruments.  See you there!
