Our tenth edition promises to be a great one with some of bluegrass music's top artists performing on the CIEU-FM Bluegrass Stage.The "Queen of Bluegrass", Rhonda Vincent & the Rage will be featured on Friday. The Kirksville (Missouri) native has been performing for over 25 years and has won numerous awards including International Bluegrass Music Awards (IBMAs) as "Entertainer of the Year" in 2001 and "Female Vocalist of the Year" seven consecutive years form 2001 through 2006.
Nashville's Lonesome River Band has been one of the most respected bands in bluegrass music for over 30 years, and although the band members have changed throughout the years, LRB remains as popular as ever. They'll be on stage on Friday and Saturday.
Another band making their first appearance at the festival will be the Roys. This brother and sister led band is based in Nashville, but has roots in New Brunswick and spent part of their youth in Coal Branch. Fans will be hearing a lot more of the Roys in 2012, as they've just signed as deal to host a weekly variety/music TV series and are considered to be one of the most promising up and coming groups in bluegrass/country music. The Roys will be on the CIEU-FM Stage on Thursday and Friday.
The Bluegrass Diamonds, the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band, Ray Legere & Acoustic Horizon and Janet McGarry & Wildwood will also be on hand in 2012.
