A declaration of Spring: music, community, and jubilation has returned to Planet Bluegrass. This revelation in this springtime energy continues April 9 as Pete Wernick & Flexigrass and Long Road Home are welcomed to the Wildflower Pavilion in Lyons.
Béla Fleck praises the fundamentally futuristic acoustic sextet Pete Wernick & Flexigrass video: "I love the way [Flexigrass] blends bluegrass banjo into an early jazz band. A very appealing combination." Meanwhile, the traditional bluegrass of Long Road Home, brings together five of Colorado's finest musicians - RockyGrass band contest winners Martin Gilmore & Justin Hoffenberg, RockyGrass mandolin contest champion Jordan Ramsey, Grammy winning bassist Gene Libbea, and Dr. Banjo Pete Wernick.
The doors will be open and the bonfire lit along the St. Vrain River at 7pm. Arrive early, grab a New Belgium beer at the bar, gather with fellow festivarians around the bonfire, then settle into the "cathedral of bluegrass" for a rich evening of music beginning at 8pm. Tickets ($15) are available now at 800-624-2422 or shop.bluegrass.com. The season continues through May, including the recent addition of Martha Scanlan (of Reeltime Travelers) to the Anne & Pete Sibley show on May 14.
