2008 GEORGIA MOUNTAIN ROOTS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds
June 13th through June 14th

Tickets are now on sale for the 2008 Roots and Music Festival at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds. The festival will celebrate the heritage and traditional music of our mountains as well as contemporary acoustic acts in the bluegrass, folk, and Americana genres. Over 60 arts and crafts booths will be on display Saturday and Sunday featuring everything from hand crafted pottery, jewelry, photography and clothing.

The festival also invites local musicians from novice to advanced to Jam at the informal picking pavilion throughout the week-end. The festival lineup includes local, regional and national acoustic acts.

On Friday June 13th catch Irons in the Fire, emerging songwriter Donna Hughes, Traditional Bluegrass star Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers, and national headliner sensations Cherryholmes.

On Saturday June 14th acoustic folk act Trees Leave will open, along with national public radio teen talent search winners The Lovell Sisters, International Americana trio The Greencards, singer songwriter, folk, and Celtic artist Tim O’Brien, and 2007 IBMA Album, song, and emerging artists of the year The Infamous Stringdusters. Closing the festival will be legendary Bluegrass/Americana artist Sam Bush.

As a co-founder of the groundbreaking New Grass Revival Band in the late 1970’s Bush was pioneer almost 35 years ago but his recent work is evidence that he is still a vital presence on the acoustic music scene. He has headlined major festivals from coast to coast including Merlefest and Telluride and is known for his wide ranging choice of material and his captivating high-energy shows.

The 2008 Roots and Music Festival will open its doors at 5pm on Friday, June 13th and closes at 11:00pm. Saturday, June 14th hours are 12 noon until 11pm.
