On November 22 and 23, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in Owensboro, Ky., will host Jerry Garcia: A Bluegrass Journey, a weekend of music that plays up the roots of its genre through an assemblage of talented acts that fall into the category above. Having already shared its artist lineup, the folks behind the impending occasion have tacked on a pair of after-parties, happening nightly and featuring The Tennessee Warblers.
Apart from newly added evening entertainment, registration and tours for Jerry Garcia: A Bluegrass Journey will commence at 10 a.m. on Friday, November 22. A Jamming workshop and screening of 2003’s Festival Express will arrive before the onset of music, coming to fruition with an initial offering led by The Infamous Stringdusters’ Andy Falco and Travis Book (6 p.m.). The latter will remain active, serving as the Fireside on the Mountain with special guests ahead of Sam Grisman Project’s 8:30 p.m. slot. Closing out the night is The Tennessee Warblers, assuming the role of after-party entertainment.
The second and final day of Jerry Garcia: A Bluegrass Journey starts with another offering of exhibit tours, another round of jamming workshops, and a film showing, this time 1977’s The Grateful Dead Movie. Once again, Falco and Book will resume their stage time, preluding a continuation of Fireside on the Mountain offering with Book. 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23, marks the start of Kitchen Dwellers with special guest Lindsay Lou, ahead of another after-party put on by The Tennessee Warblers once again.
