About us

The 17th annual celebration

In about 2008 Tari and I got to thinking that it would be super cool to get all our bluegrass friends together and start a small old time bluegrass festival, up in the hills with an old time stage, one microphone and people camped all around the stage. This festival is a dream come true for us and we so appreciate all of our bluegrass friends and the folks that have come to support the festival. A special thank you to Janice Heiland and family for letting us use their beautiful ranch. And a special thanks to all our friends that help us "get'er done."
