March 9, 2018 at the Sheldon Theater. If you like Bluegrass this is the show to see.

A firecracker of talent that powers one of the hottest shows in any genre of music!

World Class Musicians, and an Award Winning Voice seamlessly set the stage for a breath-taking, one-of-a-kind, must-see performance; that reaches beyond the boundaries of bluegrass music!

Written words can give you but a glimpse of the artist known as “The New Queen of Bluegrass,” as deemed by the Wall Street Journal. But it’s only when you see this artist, that you can feel the energy and experience the excitement of her music, to truly know why she and her amazing band are the “Most Award Winning Band in Bluegrass Music History, with over 100 awards!”

Imagine listening to the best musicians in Minnesota all playing for two days, February 16 and 17, in Red Wing.  Check this link for details:information:https://www.bigturnmusicfest.com/

This band reminds me of great bluegrass and the original Pure Prairie League. Fantastic harmonies and beautiful instrumentation. Their latest album debuted at #1 on Billboards bluegrass chart. See them in the intimacy of Red Wing’s Sheldon Theater this Saturday, March 5th, at 7pm.
