DETAILS: PICKIN' PICNIC BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL. TONY RICE AND PETER ROWAN
Our FIFTH annual two-day spring festival celebrating the great traditions of bluegrass and paying tribute to our own Lucy Opry. Bring your picnic baskets, blankets and lawn chairs for the free outdoor performances Friday night and Saturday by some of the best regional bluegrass bands, and then move indoors for the ticketed grand finale Saturday night at 8PM featuring the legendary Tony Rice and Peter Rowan. The delicate interplay of Rowan's melodic voice and Rice's unrivaled flat-picking complement each other perfectly. Don't forget to bring your own musical instruments and join-in on the "pickin' ".
