HAYES CROSSING New bands, or relatively new bands, were featured Saturday evening for the opening night of the 22nd Rudy Fest at Hayes Crossing, in Rowan County.
Throughout the past eight decades of bluegrass music, each era of the genre has been marked with a certain kind of standout act; not in terms of popularity or radio airplay, but based on the amount of other world-class musicians hanging out at this one group’s shows on their off nights. From the Stanley Brothers and Flatt & Scruggs to the Bluegrass Album Band and Nashville Bluegrass Band, there’s always one band of players’ players out there dropping the jaws of their contemporaries.
FLEMINGSBURG The Lincoln Mash and Heather Alley Band will perform Sunday for Years of Farming at Double S Entertainment. The opening band will be Yocum River Band.
