TWO REUNION SHOWS PLANNED FOR THE WEEKEND

Image634649060687970000Image634649061673320000As if it weren't already pretty exciting to have Del McCoury & The Dixie Pals Reunion (Del, Jerry McCoury, Dick Smith, Herschel Sizemore, Jon Glik) at this show on February 19, you’ll also be treated to a Johnson Mountain Boys Reunion as well!  Dudley Connell, David McLaughlin, and Marshall Wilborn will be joined by David & Linda Lay, and Sammy Shelor on banjo for a revival of some old JMB tunes.  Yet another rare and exceptional performance on the show…..as of this posting, it looks fairly good that the Punch Brothers will appear as well.  The benefit’s Facebook page is promoting; “Chris Thile and four of his best friends will make an appearance on Sunday afternoon”
