Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Festival

02/07/2026

We are excited to have so much interest in our 24th Annual Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Festival. At this point, our hookups are sold out and we are working with quite a wait list. There's still some availability in the upper campground at the park for RV's 30 foot or smaller, and plenty of dry/generator space. So, we wanted to provide you with other options that are in a relatively close proximity of Glen Maury Park.

Friends, Nothin’ Fancy needs your help.

Attached here is the nomination ballot for SPBGMA. We won Entertainers of the Year from this organization six times, and it would be great to add a seventh trophy - or more if possible.

The thing is, ANYONE can vote for this. You do not need to have SPBGMA membership. Just fill out the ballot and send it in. You migh actually have to print it and fill it out physically, but we’d appreciate any help. We only have until October 21 to get this accomplished, but at least help us get nominated!!

Key nominations: Promoter of the Year (Robyn Wines); Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year (Mike Andes); Bassfiddle Performer of the the Year (Jenkins); Guitar Performer of the Year (Curt Gausman); Mandolin Performer of the Year (Mike Andes); Banjo Performer of the Year (Jacob Flick); Fiddle Performer of the Year (Chris Sexton); Male Vocalist of the Year (Mike Andes); Bluegrass Gospel Group of the Year (Nothin’ Fancy); Bluegrass Vocal Group of the Year (Nothin’ Fancy); Bluegrass Instrumental Group of the Year (Nothin’ Fancy); Bluegrasd Band of the Year (Nothin’ Fancy); and Entertainer(s) of the Year (Nothin’ Fancy).

23rd Annual Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Festival

07/11/2025

There's an important statement on most all festival schedules that states "Lineup Subject to Change". This year, we do have a change in our originally posted lineup. Due to travel logistics (or should we say nightmares), Larry Efaw was not able to find any flights that could guarantee his arrival in California on Friday. We did not want to be the reason he would miss that opportunity so we agreed that he should make the trip and we would put him in a future lineup. With that said, we've made a couple changes. Hammaville will be filling out the Thursday schedule and the Mike Mitchell Band will be stepping in the open time slot we had for Saturday. Hopefully this completes what we believe to be an amazing lineup. And we hope you'll click on this link https://www.nothinfancybluegrass.com/default.asp... and get your tickets now. Can't wait to see you all.
