Frisco Bluegrass Festival
Here's a pretty nice piece of news:
Pizza Hut Park in Frisco is hostng the first annual Frisco Bluegrass Festival on Sunday October 22nd. Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Claire Lynch and Rhonda Vincent and Rage will be performing along with the Williams and Clark Expedition. Williams and Clark features Bob Clark who played with the click of OKC musicians that grew up with Vince Gill. I wished I could say that he was a member of Gills' Mountain Smoke, but I need to research that one. Tickets are $29.50 to $50.00 for the day. I really don't know how much of a festival type atmosphere they expect to have there as it sounds rather structured. Not the way bluegrass festivals normally operate. Talent seems good though and they've got some good sponsorships. Note to promoters: need more small time bands. Three pros and one semi up and coming is not what we call a "festival." That's what we call a "concert." Here's the site at www.friscobluegrass.com.
