Click Here To Purchase Tickets To Shows

This is for convenience only.  Admission may be purchased at the event and we have never turned people away

from a show. Also, please note: ALL tickets are general admission. Come early for good seats!

NOTE: In order to appeal to a wider range of folks, we are now making a concerted effort to book more non-bluegrass and non-traditional  bands.  Bluegrass fans don't worry, we are committed to traditional music and will always offer top-notch bluegrass and old-time.  IN ADDITION,  we are also going to offer as many FREE shows as our budget can afford ("Free" does not mean "lack of talent"). We would like to reward our patrons with a free show as often as possible. LOOK for these new designations on this page to better inform you:
