    Default Seeking Bluegrass bands for festival in Las Vegas

    Hi fellow Cafe members! I am not sure where to post this so trying here first. I am looking for groups who would like to be part of the Logandale Fall Festival on October 23-24th this year. Logandale is about 35 miles north of Las Vegas and this will be the second year of our festival since we brought it back from a 7 year absence.

    The Southern Nevada Bluegrass Music Society is also involved and will be celebrating it's 40th Anniversary. I play in a group here and am tasked with booking the entertainment. We have several bands already lined up but I thought I would inquire to see if anyone will be passing through or doesn't mind a drive.

    The budget is pretty weak and we can't offer a lot but let me know what you need and give me a link to some audio or video of you as well. Bands with mandolins go to the front of the line of course!!!

    Thanks guys!

    Really wish High Mountain could do the show but this other band sounds pretty good! Talk to them and let me know....

    Brian,

    Looks like a go pending agreement on the particulars...I'll get final confirmation tonite from the guitarist; if he can't do it, Jack said he would take his place.
