The 2014 International Bluegrass Music Association Emerging Artist - Flatt Lonesome will be making their television debut as featured guests on Reno's Old Time Music Festival this Saturday on RFD-TV.
"We had a blast on the set with Ronnie and his band, and we can't wait to watch the show along with you this weekend!" the band said in a statement. "It is an honor for us to be on an episode of Reno's Old Time Music Festival."
The long-awaited premiere of a powerful new documentary produced by the International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, KY takes place at 9:00 PM EDST on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 on Kentucky Educational Television (KET).
The 18th season of KET’s Emmy-nominated musical series Jubilee—which offers viewers a front-row concert seat to the best traditional and contemporary bluegrass, folk and blues music from Kentucky’s summer music festival scene—launches June 10 at 8/7 pm on KET as the marquis event in KET’s special “Bluegrass Week” programming.
Bluegrass history will be made beginning early next month when Kentucky Educational Television and The International Bluegrass Music Association broadcast the 2012 Fan Fest.
A major event in the world of bluegrass music, this is the first time IBMA’s Fan Fest, which yearly features top bluegrass artists, has ever been recorded. The season premieres Tuesday, June 4 at 8/7 p.m. on KET and Saturday, June 8 at 11/10 p.m. on KET2.
LAST CHANCE TO HELP IS NOW!
Tim White, host of the PBS series, Song of the Mountains has sent a last plea for help.
In his message, White says, “We are in our final week of our "Kickstarter" campaign and are only at 25% of our goal to help keep our concert series funded and on public television. If you have already pledged we "thank you". If you have meant to pledge and have forgotten please go to our website and click on the lime green Kickstarter logo and pledge immediately.”
Kickstarter campaign goals must be fully met in order for the project to get any of the pledges received so far. If the goal is not met or exceeded by the deadline, Kickstarter.com does not charge any of the credit cards of potential donors and the project is lost.

More than one suggestion has been made over the years to the IBMA directors to find a way to share the annual awards program to members and fans who cannot attend in person due to geographic, financial or any other consideration. The year 2012 will go down in bluegrass history as the year they made it happen.
The International Bluegrass Music Award have been recognized throughout the music industry as one of the highest-quality live music award shows in the nation and thanks to VisitRaleigh.com and BluegrassToday who will share the sponsorship roles, bluegrass fans around the world will be able to share the experience that previously they could only read about after it was all over.
