#RockyGrass imminent ~ the calm before the storm

#PlanetBluegrass

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
- Robert Hunter & Jerry Garcia

playing on the main stage, the young woman on right was one of 3 finalists in the #RockyGrass #Banjo Contest (young woman accompanying on left is her sister and a Guitar Contest finalist) ~ 15 and 18 years old respectively...

most incredibly the 15-year-old WON the contest ~ afterwards staff were researching if she may be the youngest winner in history of this prestigious contest ~ many winners of RockyGrass band/instrument contests go on to be huge in #bluegrass ~ she is gonna be a star 🪕⭐️

btw turns out they have a band and website:
