Bluegrass Events around Rhode Island

I’m moving to RI for a year this summer. Is there any good Bluegrass festivals out in that area? It will be my first time in New England.

Hey Brock. Here's a link for festivals in the Northeast. Rhode Island isn't listed but the nearby states of Mass, Conn, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire are. Vermont and Conn, look pretty active.

Here's a link to the Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance.

There is also a couple that build mandolins in Glocester, Rhode Island. Max and Lauri Girouard.

Thanks, Willkam! I’m still rocking that KM-700 I got off you a couple of years back.

I know! I read the other message you sent me on that KM-700 thread. I responded.

Here's a picture of me with your Kentucky KM-700 mandolin. I am setting on the porch of Bill Monroe's ancestral home in Rosine, Kentucky on June 28th, 2016, playing that KM-700. Just got the picture off my wife's camera today.
