Due to the closing of one of my favorite restaurants and Bluegrass night-spots, Grampa Eddies, the 3rd annual Bluegrass Marathon Jam has been moved. For details about Grampa Eddies's future and reasons for closing, click here.
But, do not fear, the Bluegrass Marathon Jam will continue, this year at the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen (CATGA) beginning at 12:00 Noon and continuing until 12:00 Midnight on Saturday, February 25th, 2012.
Bands scheduled to perform are:Highway 249, Some Assembly Required, Willis River, Slack Family, Copper Ridge, East of Afton, River City Band and more bands to be announced. Check out the web site for the 3rd annual Bluegrass Marathon Jam.
I must tell you I was immediately concerned about the thought there would be no food or "adult" beverages available at this great event which provides funds for the Fisher House Foundation which provides free housing to families of military that need hospital care or rehabilitation. We owe these wonderful men and women our support and comfort. I have been assured, just today, that there will be BBQ provided by a National BBQ cook-off competitor and that the adult beverages will be provided by Legend/Brown. So fear not! Come out and have some money along to spend of food and drink and to support the Fisher House.
For more details on the event and ways you might participate click here. This is a marathon event, so obviously seven bands can't do it all. Do you have a band and want to be heard, then check it out, but hurry!
Okay, mark your calendar and be ready for a great day of Bluegrass music at CATGA when the 3rd annual Bluegrass Marathon Jam kicks off the day at noon of February 25th, 2012. See you there!
"NUFF SAID!"
