LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association (AMIA) has announced the acts that will be performing at the sixth annual Old Time Bluegrass Festival, to be held rain or shine at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park on Saturday, Sept. 10.
The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
“I’m thrilled about this year’s lineup, which will include Grammy award winner Laurie Lewis with her band, the Right Hands, the always exciting Stairwell Sisters, Lake County’s own Pat Ikes and Bound to Ride and the singing and yodeling of Fur Dixon & Steve Werner,” said Festival Musical Director Don Coffin.
Also being featured from Lake County are 3-Deep, the Cobb Stompers, the Konocti Fiddle Club and the Clear Lake Clikkers, Coffin said. Joining the Festival from Sonoma County are Mighty Chiplings and Two Rock Ramblers.
“The festival is a family event, with great music, food, art and crafts, a children’s activity area and more,” says Festival Coordinator Henry Bornstein. “With two stages and non-stop music from 10 a.. to 6:30 p.m., there’s something for everyone.”
Bornstein said in addition to music there will be special activities for children all day and musician’s workshops led by pros such as Laurie Lewis, Jim Williams, Steve Werner, Pat Ikes, Andy Skelton and Don Coffin.
There also will be a wine and beer garden featuring Lake County wines, demonstrations of wool spinning and weaving, an Art-in-the-Barn exhibit and dozens of food and handicraft booths.
“We encourage those attending to bring their instruments for workshops and informal jam sessions behind the ranch house,” Bornstein said.
This year, the festival will close with everyone being invited to an outdoor dance to the music of the Stairwell Sisters, a favorite of festival attendees.
“The Old Time Bluegrass Festival is a community fundraiser supporting the work of AMIA”, says Gae Henry, AMIA Board member. “Our mission is to protect and support the natural and cultural resources at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.”
The event is held each year at the Park, which is on Highway 53, between the towns of Clearlake and Lower Lake.
