Upcountry- Our mountain musicians play a different kind of blues when performing bluegrass music

One of the many benefits of living along the Heritage Corridor here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we see our fair share of festivals regardless of your own slice of geography you hang your hat in or the season. And yesterday was no exception as we took in the “Old Time Country Christmas” at the Hagood Mill, it being the third Saturday and all. We blogged earlier in the week about this years featured bluegrass musicians and their Appalachia Irish and Scottish musical traditions with the prerequisite bagpipe players performing on a Great Highland bagpipe.

One thing that struck my attention during the day’s festivities, whenever you take theses traditional festivals in, you can stumble on some spirited bluegrass performances with a little bit of a luck not unlike the variety heard via the Evoca folks as well as get the opportunity to watch mountain artists pursuing their craft. As the Christmas Season draws closer, keep all of our North and South Carolina Mountain Festivals in mind as they roll around and we hope to see you at soon here in the hill country of our Carolina home on your next vacation getaway weekend. If you are interested in receiving a festival schedule, don’t be bashful, send us an E-mail and will be happy to share the next scheduled festival event with you by return E-mail.
