Larry Keel

Occupy Bean Blossom for the greatest mix of bluegrass, old-time, newgrass, jamgrass, country, camp jams and everything in between. You won’t find this mix of music genres at any other festival in the country. I also think it’s located at the best festival park in the world, the revered Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park & Campground at Bean Blossom, Inidana. The John Hartford Memorial festival is pet & kid friendly for sure. It’s also pretty darn budget friendly as well. There will be about 60 shows to choose from over 3 days, for about a buck a show.

Welcome another new addition to the lineup – The Rabbit Hash String Band out of Ohio. They put down some great sounding old timey music that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. I have them scheduled for Friday morning at 11:00 on the Hippy Hill stage.

The festival will have three stages, Main Stage, Hippy Hill Stage, & Boogie Stage, running from 11:00 AM until midnight Thursday, Friday & Saturday. I will have a schedule posted soon.
