I was up in Demorest, Georgia yesterday for their
first bluegrass festival at the new Arrendale outdoor amphitheatre. They had a terrific bunch of performers --
The Buzzard Mountain Boys,
John Oliver & Carmel Ridge;
the Solstice Sisters,
Curtis Blackwell & the Dixie Bluegrass Boys (Vic and Curtis pictured above),
Mountain Hoodoo, Bluebilly Grit, the Foxfire Boys, American Honey & the Wild Turkeys;
Hawkproof Rooster and the
Musselwhite Family (Molly Musselwhite pictured at right). Those Musselwhite kids have a hard time cracking a grin, but they produce a great sound.
Bluebilly Grit is another family-based band that gets better every time I hear them -- and they were good to begin with!
The weather was a mixed bag -- it was cloudy but hot enough to melt my cardboard collar. It's a good thing that the cast and crew of the
Mountain Music & Medicine Show always have plenty of funeral parlor fans and
Wizard Water© on hand to help them keep cool! I look forward to doing this again next year -- thanks to everyone who made this such a great event!
