The full schedule of artists and performances for Wide Open Bluegrass StreetFest, the free street festival portion of Wide Open Bluegrass, has just been announced.
The roster of artists performing at Wide Open Bluegrass StreetFest, held October 2 and 3 in Raleigh, North Carolina, includes a broad mix of local, national and international bluegrass talent.
The free Wide Open Bluegrass StreetFest, held in downtown Raleigh along Fayetteville Street, will feature more than 80 bands, five music stages, a dance tent, vendors and concessions.
The Youth Stage – a special stage near the Convention Center – will feature performances and activities from the future stars of bluegrass. The performers were chosen by IBMA’s Youth Council, which is made up of youth members from across the U.S. and Ireland.
Additionally, StreetFest will contain a Bluegrass Expo Hall and a Masters Workshop Stage in the Raleigh Convention Center.
“Audiences will encounter a unique bluegrass experience while roaming the streets of downtown Raleigh,” said William Lewis, Executive Director of PineCone and producer of Wide Open Bluegrass. “True to the Wide Open brand, performances will range from bluegrass music’s folk roots in blues and old-time string band with Jerron ‘Blind Boy’ Paxton & The Down Hill Strugglers, to traditional bluegrass performed by one of Bill Monroe’s former Blue Grass Boys – fiddler Bobby Hicks, to the modern stylings of Special Consensus, to the future of bluegrass by way of one of its most promising stars, mandolinist Sierra Hull. The lineup includes special projects, as well, including The HillBenders presenting ‘Tommy: A Bluegrass Opry’- a grassy spin on The Who’s rock opera; and Jayme Stone’s ‘Lomax Project’ – a reimagining of songs collected by folklorist Alan Lomax. We aim to inspire, entertain, and educate folks about the depth and breadth of bluegrass music today.”
