SOQUE BULLETIN

BLUEGRASS JAM EDITION

We're pleased to announce that the SRWA will be a beneficiary of a new bluegrass festival hosted by the Grant Street Music Room later this month. Mark your calendars or buy tickets now.

FIRST NORTH GEORGIA

WINTER BLUEGRASS JAM

FEBRUARY 22nd and 23rd

Benefitting Chattahoocheee Riverkeeper and Soque River Watershed Association

The first North Georgia Winter Bluegrass Jam and festival brings an unprecedented all-star lineup of artists from across the Americana music spectrum to the banks of the Soque River. Scorching acoustic guitars, blazing banjos and the melodic friction of bows on strings should make for a warm melodic glow in the midst of the Appalachian winter in this new two-day festival that will benefit both the Soque River Watershed Association and the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper.

The festival will reach a feverish crescendo Saturday night with internationally acclaimed guitar virtuoso Larry Keel taking the stage around 8 p.m., followed by the must-be-seen-to-be-believed sensory spectacle that is the Snake Oil Medicine Show. Friday night’s headliner is The Mosier Brothers Band, featuring the Rev. Jeff Mosier on banjo and Johnny Mosier on guitar.
