Rivercity Bluegrass Festival

Hi fellow festers! I promise I am not a spammer, though I want to tell you about our festival! I volunteer my time at many festivals out here in Oregon and I am always looking to expand my network!

We were nominated for an IBMA award this year (though we didnt win) and were still very young. Workshops, vendors, and late night jamming with some of your favorite musicians from the festival across the street at the Red Lion Hotel, make this the premiere festival to attend! What a great way to start off the year! Here’s the info:

We go to River City every year and while it’s weird to be gong home eventually and not to a tent but we’ve have had a great time every year. I LOVED seeing Barbeque Orchestra on the big stage last year and Leah Larson stands as one of my all-time new to me festival discoveries. It would be awesome to see more festivarian faces there!
