We had the opportunity to open the Roots & Music Festival in Hiawassee, GA this year. It was nice to be on the Anderson Music Hall Stage and to share the stage with some wonderful acts.
The Festival was held on Friday and Saturday, June 5 & 6th. Our program began at 6:00 pm on Friday. There was a good crowd and we had a nice set. The response to us was great and enjoyble for us. Later we had the opportunity to listed to Irons in the Fire, Dale Ann Bradley, IBMA Female Vocalist of the year for the past two years, and the Seldom Scene, a band that has been around and well known as long as we have been picking , which started in the early 1970's.
Saturday had a great lineup and I am sorry to say I missed it. I started to the festival when my vehicle broke down. It turned out to be a fuel pump that was the problem. There were a few acts that I really wanted to see, including the final act of Dan Tyminski. Hearing from some who were able to attend, I missed a great day of music.
The people putting on the festival were excellent to work with. I appreciate the efforts of everyone, and especially the sound crew. It was wonderful to be a part of this festival and to have the opportunity to perform at Anderson Music Hall.
