I’m finally finding time to get back into the newsletter. I’ll try to keep you up to date on what’s going on with Common Ground as much as possible.
Be sure to join us on Saturday, May 24th when we are scheduled to play at historic Renfro Valley. This should be a fun time, especially since world-renowned fiddle great Michael Cleveland will be performing with us that weekend. Michael has become one of the top recognized fiddle players in the entire world. He has been awarded IBMA’s, (International Bluegrass Music Association), Fiddle Player of the Year award 5 times, second only to fiddle great Stuart Duncan's eight trophies. He previously won in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, and most recently in 2007. His band, Flamekeeper also won the 2007 IBMA award for Instrumental Group of the Year for their first time, as part of the 18th Annual Bluegrass Music Awards show at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee.
We are very please and appreciative that Michael is taking time between his own scheduled performances, to be with Common Ground at Renfro Valley. This should be a fantastic weekend for bluegrass, and we look forward to seeing you there.
