If you couldn’t make it to Mr. B’s or you simply didn’t get enough of that good ol’ Bluegrass music then the “Festival In The Pines” at Tripple Creek Park in Rocky Mount, Virginia is coming up the very next weekend over April 29th, 30th and May 1st and 2nd, 2009. There’s so much to tell you I don’t know if I can fit it all into this one page, but I’ll try.
On Wednesday there’s the Barn/Square Dance & Showcase. That’s right dance along with the Roan Mountain Hill Toppers and The Patrick Henry Travelers Dance Team to the music of the Friday Night Bluegrass Band. Either sit back and watch the dancers or join in the fun.
On Thursday the festival gets underway with: Marcie Horn & Next Step, Jonathan Dillon & Phantom Grass, Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice (Wow!)and The Bluegrass Brothers.
Then on Friday there's: Hard Drivin’ Grass, The Churchmen, The Larry Stephenson Band, Williams & Clark Expedition and The James King Band.
But, that’s not all! On Saturday: The Little Mountain Boys, Solid Rock, Michelle Nixon & Drive, The Larry Stephenson Band, Dailey & Vincent and The Bluegrass Brothers. That’s four big days filled with some of the best in Bluegrass.
As has become popular with Bluegrass festivals there is a pitch in supper for early arrivals. On Tuesday April 28th bring out your favorite dish or dessert and join together for a old fashioned covered dish dinner.
There are “early bird” prices available for 4 day advance tickets. Get your advance ticket before April 1st for only $67. That’s $8 off the “at the gate price.” In these tough economic times any savings is welcome.
Camping is on a first come first served basis, however, there are reserved sites. These reservations were made before the close of last year’s festival. The same offer is made this year. Reserve your site for next year’s festival before 6PM on May 2nd, 2009.
Tripple Creek Music Park is located off US Route 220 south of Roanoke, Virginia, Make plans now to enjoy a big weekend at the Festival In The Pines.
