Oh yeah. Stephen Bennett is one of those master guitarists who sucks you in with his smooth playing and leaves you saying to yourself, "Wow!" The Bluegrass Sessions brought back happy memories of New Grass Revival. They kick butt.

I think of this festival as a "mini Winfield." It has the same general spirit, and some of the same acts, but a lot less crowd. It offers more straight bluegrass than Winfield, but like Winfield, it's not really a bluegrass festival in that there's a lot of other music to be heard, including western, old time country, country blues, etc. And there's a goodly amount of campground music throughout the weekend. It would be good to add a Mudcat jam to that. Reserve next May for the 5th annual, folks. It will be a blast.
