Grey Fox 2016 July 14-17

I'm just a longtime enthusiastic volunteer (videography/photography) passing on news and info year round.

Here we go...

Grey Fox Doorbuster Sale

Super Saver Tickets

From the Assistant Director...

Heads up. Super Saver Tickets are now on sale and we're about halfway to being sold out of those. The price is $175. When it jumps to Early Bird (probably early evening tonight), they'll be $190.

The ticketing system is working like a charm now. We want to thank you all for being so patient as we experienced growing pains with the new system.

And we want to thank the Thirsty Lizards for putting in a ton of overtime to get it back on line. Not to mention LISA, who I am sure wanted to clone herself so she could answer phones, check emails, place manual orders, walk her dog, and chew gum all at the same time! Amazing.

Anyway, you may want to head on over to our website and grab tickets with your credit card, or sign up for tickets and pay by check. And you can call Lisa at 315-404-5738 if you need to.

We'll be announcing our lineup on Feb 7th. We're working on another great one!

Best wishes for a wonderful 2016.

Well, pshaw. I love Mike and Ruthy -- and I can't go to greyfox again this year because my boss will be away and somebody has to mind the store. sigh. Grey Fox always has some of the best lineups you'll find.

[mbruno]

Very excited for greyfox! Been going and volunteering on the main stage since 2005. By far my favorite festival i attend.

The line up seems great this year. I'll need to listen to some thile and fleck before the festival. I love them both individually so I'm sure together they'll be great - probably crack a few jokes too

I am bummed to be missing my first GF in a decade. Tonight I was lucky and heard The Railsplitters live as part of Bands on the Bricks in Boulder. Wow!! You do not want to miss this group! They are a lot of fun and there will be plenty of dancing during their set!

Be sure to listen to my friend (The Other) Steve Martin and look him up at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival.

Fred, it looks like I'll be running sound on the Creekside stage this year so I'm sure I'll see you. Should be a good lineup!

Here's my annual pre-festival story...

In 2008, while waiting for my ride to Grey Fox, I was reading the local newspaper and saw this...

[UsuallyPickin]

That would be the catfish, sir, with cole slaw and hush puppies . . . . . . . . . . .

[Fred G]
