The Whiskey Bent Valley Boys officially opened The Haymarket Whiskey Bar [Music]
Saturday evening was the official grand opening of The Haymarket Whiskey Bar on Main Street, in NuLu. Front man, Mason Dixon is bent on preserving what he described as, “old time music”. Following The Shovel Bums, a band of archeologists, Mason rounded up the boys, Leroy, JR, and Johnny.
Bosco Ain't Your Momma's Country [Music]
Bosco is a full speed band with quick riffs, fun lyrics and in your face attitude. It is energetic, stripped down music that brings me back to more carefree times of my youth. The drum kit is not pushed to the back of the stage, it is situated up front, already Bosco sets themselves apart visually. This band is non-conforming. Their take on Bluegrass or Country is of a new genre. The music is neither Country, Folk, Rock, Bluegrass or Punk. Bosco is what is great about all genres of music mashed into one.
Kentucky Bluegrass and Burgoo Festival REVIEW [Music]
The weather was not a friend to the 6th annual Kentucky Bluegrass and Burgoo Festival held at the Water Tower this weekend.
My husband and I passed up on 100+ temps on Saturday and rain threats on Sunday and ventured out on chilly Monday afternoon. We found that the overcast, windy skies did not keep most families at home like I imagined.
The music was wonderful (we caught Fresh Cut Grass’ set) despite the hum in the microphone from the howling winds off the river.
Bluegrass music, burgoo, beer, and sunshine
My husband and I never considered ourselves Bluegrass Fans until seeing a bluegrass trio play in a small brewery in Nashville last Spring. We had just driven across the country after leaving Los Angeles, the city where he grew up and where I had been living for five years. A city where we didn't experience much country or bluegrass music.

Punch Brothers bring bluegrass and humor to Bomhard Saturday night [Music]
The tickets for Saturday night’s show at the Bomhard Theater read: “The Punch Brothers, featuring Chris Thile,” an obvious mechanism for making sure attendees realized that the band does, in fact, include the former Nickel Creek member, who along with the Watkins siblings helped find a place for bluegrass in pop music a decade ago.
Thile’s new band also blurs the lines between folk, bluegrass and pop and Thile is surrounded again with extraordinary talent.
