ANNUAL INDOOR FESTIVAL AT HOLIDAY INN SUNSPREE FEATURES
NATIONAL, REGIONAL STARS
Feb 04
Peter Rowan thinks Tony Rice is a genius. "He's the best guitar
player in the world," said Rowan. The warmth and brilliance of
their interaction may be the cure you need for the winter bluegrass
blues. They're headlining this weekend's 9th annual Bluegrass First
Class festival together, indoors at the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort,
along with Jimmy Martin, J.D Crowe, Ronnie Bowman, IIIrd Tyme Out and
other bluegrass greats.
Even
better, there's bluegrass and acoustic music all over Asheville this
weekend. It may be cold out, but fans are warming up for hot tunes and
festival season.
"This is a really solid hometown event for Asheville," said
Bluegrass First Class founder and producer Milton Harkey. "It
combines national bluegrass artists with the best of the local
groups."

appeared at this venerable theater. Interestingly, the Music hall was
ground zero in the development of ‘Dawg-Music’, the hybrid
offspring of string jazz and bluegrass co-developed by Tony Rice with
David Grisman & Co. Click Here
