3:00 pm Ralph Stanley and His Clinch Mountain Boys
Sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield
$40.00 $35.00
  Stanley, The Man of Constant Sorrow is an American bluegrass legend, known for his distinctive singing and banjo playing.  He learned to play the banjo, claw hammer style, from his mother.  Ralph created a unique style of banjo playing, sometimes called "Stanley Style".  It evolved from Scruggs style, which is a three-finger technique.  "Stanley style" is distinguished by incredibly fast "forward rolls," led by the index finger, sometimes in the higher registers utilizing a cap.  In "Stanley Style" the rolls of the banjo are continuous and the picking is fairly close to the bridge.  This gives the instrument a very crisp, articulate snap to the strings as the player strikes them.  Stanley's work was featured in the 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", in which he sings the Appalachian dirge O Death.  He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2006, the Nation's highest honor for artistic excellence.
Thurs

8:00 pm Karla Bonoff
(Dinner option $40 extra)
$25.00 $20.00
  An American singer-songwriter, Karla's songs have been sung by numerous artists such as home by Bonnie Raitt, Tell Me Why by Wynonna Judd, and Isn't It Always Love by Lynn Anderson.  Linda Ronstadt has recorded a number of her songs, notably three tracks on the 1976 album "Hasten Down the wind" - Someone To Lay Down Beside Me. Lose Again, and If He' Ever Near. -- "For so many of us, a new Karla Bonoff album is like hearing from an old friend you've missed and think of often.  Her songs are comforting, familiar and timeless, and make us feel a part of them just by singing along."
