Hi everyone. I thought I would let everybody know that the International Thumbpicking Guitar Festival and Contest is being held this weekend in Greenville Kentucky. There will be all kinds of music there not just thumbpicking. It is held every year at Powderly Park in Greenville Kentucky and always has some of the best guitarists you are ever gonna find. The contest has 3 categories Traditional, Contemporary, and Open. The open competition is any stylebut cannot be thumbstyle (no self sustained rhythm). There are concerts and open mic jam sessions where anyone is welcome to play or sing. It starts Friday evening with the announcements of the Thumbpicking hall of fame inductees and then progresses to an open jam. The contests start at 9am Saturday morning. There is a concert Saturday night but I am not sure who is on the bill. Sunday there is a picnic and open mic jam session. If anyone is close and interested in coming everyone would be happy to have you. Let me know if anyone is interested I would really enjoy meeting some mudcatters there. Any questions let me know. The weather is supposed to be really nice. The last I heard it is suppose to be around 79F and sunny. Greenville Ky. is about 120 miles north of Nashville Tn. Well hope to see some of you there.
