If you haven't been to this festival it's a fun one in a wonderful hotel with a fun snowed in feel with lots of jamming and workshops for those who pack an axe that's made of wood instead of made for splitting it. So excited to be coming back with my band. I've played here many times over the years with the Faris Family Bluegrass Band, Special Consensus and last year with my buddy Nick Dumas in his Branchline lineup Founded in 1975, the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association now has close to 1000 members and 100 member bands who love bluegrass, old-time string band, and related acoustic music.

Their mission is to preserve and promote bluegrass and old-time stringband music in and around the state of Minnesota.
