Thought we would let you know that the amazing Andy Falco will be headlining this year's Long Island Bluegrass & Roots Music Festival! He'll be bringing the ANDY FALCO BLUEGRASS LABORATORY to the main stage on August 15th, so mark your calendar and get ready for some Bluegrass alchemy! oh, yeah 🤩

We're less than 4 months away from the 2026 LONG ISLAND BLUEGRASS & ROOTS MUSIC FESTIVAL! If you listen closely, you can almost hear it. But... we can't tell you who the headliner is yet. We know you're chomping at the bit to know who it is, but it's going to be just a little longer until we can tell you. In the meantime, here is the rest of the lineup. And WOW! It's pretty amazing.

We're just 9 short days away from the 2025 LI Bluegrass & Roots Music Festival! Here at Festival Central, we're polishing the fiddles, tuning the banjos (oh, it's a thankless business!), restringing the guitars, and making sure the basses are all standing up nice and straight. It's going to be pretty epic, so click the link and head over to Eventbrite to order your tickets. OR you can bring some good ol' cash to the gate. Either way, we'll see you there!

This just in! The Bluegrass Standard Magazine has a great article about Cole Quest and The City Pickers that dropped this morning. It highlights Cole's straight-on look at life and music, and features some great photos of the band. We thought you'd enjoy reading it - and then you can see them up close and personal on August 16th at the 2025 Long Island Bluegrass & Roots Music Festival!
