| Dave and I were scheduled to headline at the Walnut Valley Festival (world's largest bluegrass fest) in Winfield KS in September. Due to the pandemic the festival was cancelled, but there will be an online event. Dave and I will be making a video that will air during what would have been the festival weekend in September. We are recording and filming this Friday, August 7, 5 PM at Orchard Lawn in Mineral Point. You are cordially invited to be part of our studio audience, and come enjoy the music at a safe social distance. Bring a picnic if you wish! You can also order food delivery from some great restaurants in town. We attended a concert at Orchard Lawn a few weeks ago and it was quite lovely. There is ample room to spread out with many tall shade trees all around. Facebook Event Page | ||
