2016 Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival
CBA Father’s Day Festival: June 16-19, 2016
Can you believe the 41st annual CBA Father’s Day Festival is less than a month away? Do you have your tickets yet? Is your membership current? Do you need some help getting excited for the festival?
Amazing Lineup!
Acts like: Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, Danny Paisley & The Southern Grass, Blue & Lonesome, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, The Gibson Brothers, The Roustabouts, Barwick & Siegfried, Crary, Evans & Spurgin, Jeff Scroggins & Colorado, One Button Suit, The Bow Ties, The Tennessee Mafia Jug Band, The New Reeltime Travelers, Flatt Lonesome, Rocky Neck Bluegrass Band and much, much more!
Multiple Stages!
In addition to our legendary Main Stage, there are other venues like the Pioneer Stage and Vern’s Place for alternative, intimate settings for fine music!
TONS of Jamming!
One of the things that makes the Father’s Days Festival so special is the amount of jamming that takes place, day and night – and the setting you’ll be jamming in: bucolic, pine-scented, sun-dappled natural beauty!
And that’s not all – there’s great food and drink, the Luthier’s Pavilion, the amazing Old Time Gathering. And tons of stuff for the younger set – Kids on Bluegrass, the Youth Program. See the links on the left to purchase tickets and/or renew (or begin) your membership in the California Bluegrass Association. See you in Grass Valley!
Sincerely,
Bruce Campbell
California Bluegrass Association
