Highlands Land Trust to host Satulah Bluegrass Festival on June 28
SMN


Some of the hottest bluegrass musicians in the country will be picking and wailing at the Second Annual Satulah Bluegrass Festival June 28 in Highlands.

The annual fund-raising event for the Highlands Land Trust will feature Mountain Heart, an emerging national talent that recently won the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year Award. They record for Ricky Skaggs’ Ceili Music label.

The other bands will be Steep Canyon Rangers, Curtis Blackwell and the Dixie Bluegrass Boys and Spare Time Band.

The festival will be held at the Highlands ball park from 3-8 p.m. Seating is on the grass, so bring chairs and blankets. In case of rain, the festival will be moved to the Highlands Civic Center.

Tickets for the festival are $20 for adults, $15 for Highlands Land Trust members and children under 12 years old are admitted free with their family.
