Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival

Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival An event celebrating Bluegrass music on Bainbridge Island, Washington We will respond to any queries and will be happy to answer any questions about the plans.

Location: Downtown Winslow 2015, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

History: This festival began after the Foxfire Bluegrass Band from New Mexico played a single concert at the Island Music Guild in 2005. After that show, which was standing room only, a group of friends noticed the strong desire for Bluegrass music here and got together to plan the very first Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival for the foll

owing summer. After many months of work by an all-volunteer committee, local sponsors, and help from the Parks District, the first all-day event occurred on Saturday, July 29, 2006. By our good fortune, the Foxfire Bluegrass Band was able to return a year after their first appearance and be one of the 8 bands featured that day. From those humble beginnings the Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival has continued to build each year and draws enthusiastic audiences and the best bands from all over the region to one of the island’s favorite summer events. When: The Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival is an annual event and occurs on the last Saturday of July. To assure a longer future and a deeper connection to the community the event is being reorganized. The 2015 event will be a smaller event in the downtown area of Winslow as a first step toward an expanded two day event in 2016. What we need:
Any interested individuals who would like to see the festival develop and can provide assistance can message us.

The last festival occurred in 2014 and there are no immediate plans to revive it. There is hope that a new organization can be formed but no goals or schedules have been established at this time. We do appreciate any interest to that end.

Yes, it’s only the second week of Undercover 2015, and we’re already looking at our second and third banjos of the season. But behold the power of Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn, who took the classic-rock staple “The Final Countdown” and reimagined it for banjos and wig. Yes, when Fleck—who’s been

Grab your banjer and your hula hoop, and let’s jump start the festival season with this new old-time tune dedicated to all flat footers, hippy hoppers, and noodle dancers. A true Short Order Session, this was recorded and filmed on a whim and a prayer between the hours of 1 and 3 pm on Groundhog Day…

Excellent article from the Smithsonian that reveals the Bill Monroe developed genre is an ever changing one and does so by following Monroe's own method of improvement through innovation and virtuosity.
