I thought the blog might mention the upcoming Wintergrass festival. It’s an interesting event, always! I have seen people jamming in a men’s room at the Sheraton. And they weren’t bad at all. These days bluegrass music brings together people from lots of different walks of life, so this turns out to be a kind of multicultural event! There are great bands to see all day long, there’s good jamming all over the place, there are interesting workshops for those interested in bluegrass music and banjo, mandolin, guitar, and fiddle players. There’s a party late Thursday night with some fun bands and dancing; there’s a “Midnight Mandolin” event on Friday featuring Chris Thile and Mike Marshall, who are among the best mando players anywhere. And it’s in downtown Tacoma. Tickets aren’t cheap, but this is a big event on the bluegrass circuit. It’s being held from February 22 through February 25th.
