Frisco Response

Here is a reponse from someone associated with the Frisco Bluegrass Festival (a couple of posts back). I appreciate his feedback.

"Hey Banj – thanks for your blog comments about the Frisco Bluegrass Festival. This is a brand new event, and we really wanted to do something this year, so we had to pull it together very quickly (like in the last couple of months). You mentioned that you don’t know how much of a “festival” atmosphere we will have – well, that depends on how many people show up to jam! We are dedicating the huge Verizon Wireless Club (the air-conditioned stadium club) to jammers for the entire day, so hopefully there will be a lot of fun jamming going on in there all afternoon. Also, we have added local band Cadillac Sky to the lineup. Hopefully that will get us closer to the “festival” atmosphere you desire.

If we have a good turnout, we will be able to make this an annual event. If it succeeds and grows, we would love to have it turn into a two-day format with more local bands, etc. I hope you will plan to come out and jam!"

Support this effort. It's time someone put forth the resources to bring in such great talent to a place as large as the Dallas Metro. They've put their faith out there that people will come. Make your plans now and thanks in advance for supporting bluegrass music!
