The Evans Family Ranch in New Carlisle, OH will be the site for a new bluegrass happening this summer, whose name explains its inspiration and purpose.

The Bluegrass Musicians for Autism Awareness concert will be held this year as a one day event on August 26, the brainchild of Evan Dickerson of the Evan Dickerson Bluegrass Talk Show podcast, and his father, Wayne.

Evan is a young bluegrass entrepreneur, a singer, songwriter, recording artist, and now show producer as well. He is a shining example of how much people on the autism spectrum can accomplish when given the space and the assistance they need, and has served as an inspiration to many through his eight years running the Bluegrass Talk Show.

For this initial concert in August, he and Wayne have booked Hammertowne, Rick Faris, Kim Robins, and Echo Valley as headliners, along with another eight regionals bands for an all-day bluegrass show running from noon until 10:00 p.m. Evan will also perform music from his upcoming CD with Hammertowne on the show.

Evan tells us that part of the motivation for creating this new event comes from Darrell Adkins, who until recently ran the MACC festival in Ohio. “Back in November 2019, at a Sideline show somewhere in Columbus, Ohio, I had a chance to meet the promoter who ran the Musicians Against Childhood Cancer for many years, and I remember giving him one of my business cards and saying hello to him. He was one of the people who inspired me to start the Bluegrass Musicians for Autism Awareness.”

Plans are to use the proceeds from this show, which they hope to eventually expand into a full weekend festival, to make a donation to a prominent autism association. Those details are still being arranged at this time.

Tickets for the Bluegrass Musicians for Autism Awareness concert start at $25, and camp sites with hookups are offered for $70, $30 without.

SNOWYGRASS began in 2016 with a conversation. Candice Mohr, of Snowy Peaks Winery, is a supporter of LIVE MUSIC in Estes Park, and is a fan of Ran Off the Rooster--a local bluegrass band. She wanted to showcase these fine musicians as well as ReinTarnation and others. As a thank you to the community for supporting her for a decade in her winery, she created a bluegrass festival! She had 3 bands, Ran Off the Rooster, ReinTarnation, and Follow the Fox on stage. Attendees were able to enjoy her wine, eat delicious food, and take in the beauty of the river. Our community of bluegrass musicians and supporters loved it so much, they hoped it would continue year after year. Thanks to our sponsors, this celebration continues.

Sugar Maple Concert Series | Nick grew up in Brier, Washington, and was introduced to bluegrass music at a very young age by his dobro-playing grandfather. He often listened to his grandfather’s country gospel band rehearse and was so inspired by the fiddle player that he started learning to play the violin in his school orchestra class when he was 12 years old. Nick soon began taking private fiddle lessons and then joined the family band The Three Generations, formed by his grandfather, his mother and his aunt. After learning to play mandolin, guitar and banjo and to sing lead and harmony vocals, Nick became a co-founder of the popular Northwest-based bluegrass band Northern Departure. He soon became known as a highly respected mandolin player and singer in the region and co-founded another very popular bluegrass band called North Country Bluegrass, touring both regionally and nationally. In 2015, Nick was very pleased to relocate to become the new Special Consensus mandolin player. He made his Special C recording debut on the 2016 Compass Records band release “Long I Ride,” which received the 2016 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year Award for the tune “Fireball.” Nick also appeared on the 2018 Compass Records band release “Rivers And Roads” that won two IBMA awards (one for Album of the Year) and a GRAMMY nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. In late 2019, Nick released his first ever solo recording called "Story of a Beautiful Life". Joinging Nick on the album are some of the best musicians and singers in the industry today! Also in late 2019, Nick decided get off the road with Special C to stay home a little bit more with his new wife Hana. He is focusing more on teaching mandolin lessons on Skype and in person lessons. He is also part of The Fiddler's Farm at his home in Sturgeon Bay, WI. A stunning century old barn that has been restored into a music and wedding venue. He is part of the house band at the Farm now which consists of his wife, Hana, on fiddle, his father in-law, Dan, on guitar, and his mother in-law, Teri, on bass!
