Wyebrook Farm Bluegrass Festival

Founder Dean Carlson is proud to announce that WXPN host and “Dean of
American Folk DJs” Gene
Shay
will serve as Emcee for his inaugural Wyebrook Farm Bluegrass Festival
The seven-hour festival will kick off at 12 noon on Saturday, April
26
at Carlson’s idyllic 150-acre sustainable farm, featuring two sets from
performers including International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor inductee Jesse McReynolds
In addition to the headlining performance, guests will enjoy the sounds
of such artists as Dave
Kline
& The Mountain Folk Band
,
Travis Wetzel Trio
and Frog Holler Bluegrass Band



“We’re excited to welcome Gene to the
farm, and to share his encyclopedic knowledge of bluegrass and folk music with
our guests at this ever-growing celebration,” says Carlson.



Ticketholders will enjoy all of the live
music, plus pay-as-you-go, farm-fresh eats from The Cafe at Wyebrook Farm,
which will open for the season on the day of the festival, and interactive
hayride tours of the property, making it a perfect kick-off to the summer.  Prices will range $35 in advance to $40
day-of; children under 12 are free. 
Wyebrook’s expansive, bucolic pastures will be open to guests throughout
the day, allowing them to explore the stunning grounds on foot or via guided
hayride with the staff and visit with the heritage-breed cows, pigs and
chickens while they enjoy the fresh air and live bluegrass tunes.
