I have never been to a bluegrass festival and i would really like to go to one. Whats a good one that i should go to? Im thinking one in the colder months would be best. I also dont really have anyone to go with, would it be strange to go alone? Thanks!
I wouldn't call it a bluegrass (only) festival, but there is a music festival coming up that will have a ew good bluegrass bands headlining. I may try to make it. http://www.oldsettlersmusicfest.org/
Lone Star Fest is the second weekend in March 2015. It is at the Doubletree hotel in Dallas and runs Friday and Sat. Great lineup including Boxcars, Marty Raybon, Suzy Bogess and others.
Pearl Bluegrass Jam and Stage Show is held on the first Saturday of every month, all year long. There is no admission fee, the backers are supported by donations. More info here: http://www.pearlbluegrass.com/ I drive all the way in from Abilene almost every month to attend Pearl.
Just bought my ticket to old settlers next weekend. Maybe I'll see a mandolin cafe sticker somewhere. I went to the string band festival at the same place last year, I get the impression that it's like a bigger version of that, which sounds pretty cool
