Special announcement!!!!
We have joined with Sedona Film Festival to present a screening of the 2000 
documentary "Grateful Dawg" on Wednesday, June 5 at 7 pm. This documentary chronicles the friendship and musical relationship of musicians Jerry Garcia and David Grisman. Director and producer Gillian Grisman uses multiple videos, as well as live recordings, to help show this bond between two friends and musicians. It gives a view of Garcia outside the Grateful Dead. The film includes many live performances of Grisman and Garcia. - from Wikipedia

with mandolinist Flinner, guitarist Ross Martin and bassist Eric Thorin perform Sunday. Flinner's three-piece band uses every musical device known and more as they play their instruments to the fullest extent. Both plucked and bowed bass lines exist among a host of flowing chord structures and complicated arrangements, all executed with pinpoint precision.
also perform Saturday. This is family music at it's best with hard driving instrumentals and fine-tuned harmonies. Brian, on guitar and mandolin, Connie on acoustic bass and their multi instrument playing daughters Rachel and Jessie, and son Ryan who all play fiddle, guitar, mandolin and others. They truly are a rare and sparkling gem in the field of Bluegrass. Don't miss this talented family!
America's past, keeping alive the sounds that have brought people together for centuries. We draw deep from the old time string band tradition of Appalachian fiddle and banjo tunes, but aren't scared of the Mother Maybelle blues or some Hank Williams heartbreak. High energy old time music to keep the feet tapping and faces smiling!
contemporary, original American music that incorporates the traditions of the past into the topics of today. "While McKelvey's songs form the foundation of the band, it's the virtuosic musicality present in the foursome that truly makes Muskellunge a classic Flagstaff band." - FlagLive! Nolan McKelvey (Vocals/Guitar), Aaron Tyler (Mandolin/Vocals), Tim Hogan (Bass/Vocals), and Frank Dedera (Banjo).
for their tight harmonies and instrumental skills. While the nuclear weapons system they were named after is long gone, they live on as Tucson's premier Western swing/bluegrass band. While the musicianship has always been superb, they have always been a very laid-back group. The Warheads are more interested in picking and grinning than glory. Consisting of Gary Kuitert on mandolin, Earl Edmonson on guitar, Ed Davenport on bass, Andy McCune on banjo and Tom Rhodes on fiddle.The schedule for this year's festival is:
