Chris,
Thanks for the post. I'm a Philly burbs fellow and had no idea the Kimmel Center was booking this kind of stuff. Now if only I could get the Keswick Theater to start thinking along these lines...

Those shows are on the bill at Kimmelcenter.org (http://www.kimmelcenter.org/cgi-bin/display_results.fcg). They look quite inviting. Also, in terms of sound, there isn't a bad seat in either of those halls (Verizon and Perlman). I love the Kimmel.

Grisman Show includes Ralph Stanely and the Clinch Mountain Boys.

I saw the ad for Bela Fleck with Statman too!!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blues.gif

Bela & Andy sounds VERY interesting!

Art, if you come out East to Philly, you'll have a bed in the burbs if you want it.

Jamie's link went to the Philadelphia Orchestra, not the Kimmel Center. Try this one, then search under the performer name:
