The Blockhouse Bluegrass Festival
Over six months in 2010-11 the biggest names in Bluegrass will come to Mansfield for what is one of the largest celebrations of the genre anywhere in the world. The centerpiece of our festival, Jan. 14-16, will provide three days of non stop music, jam rooms, vendors and some of the nicest people anywhere.
The Del McCoury Band
For fifty years, Del's music has defined authenticity for hard core bluegrass fans as well as a growing number of fans among those only vaguely familiar with the genre. A living legend, this group is the most honored bluegrass band of all time.
Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder
This fourteen-time Grammy Award winner continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. Known affectionately today as bluegrass music's official ambassador, Ricky has brought the genre to greater levels of popularity in the past few years than the father of bluegrass music, the legendary Bill Monroe, could ever have imagined.
