The 2003 Bluegrass Festival attracted 5000 fans and showcased more than three dozen professional musicians; the headliner that year was Doc Watson. The 2004 shows were even better attended and fans enjoyed the music of Ralph Stanley, Jessie McReynolds, and many others. Music is all over town, at the historic Auditorium, in Basin Park, on the streets, in restaurants and hotels.
2008 looks to be another great year at the Eureka Springs Bluegrass Festival! Many old friends and new faces are lined up for old and new bluegrass music fans. Join us August 21 through 24!

I hope you'll all make it out to my first Saturday show at Green Door in Fayetteville Saturday, Oct 18. I'll be performing solo on piano to start the show, then I'm playing drums w/The Wade Ogle Songbook, then I'll debut my new band "The Sideways Ponies" with a short set to close the night.
For all you "old-school" Fayetteville folks, I think you'll see a lot of familiar faces at this show.
