March 9 The Banjo Ghost and The Rural Grit All-Stars

March 16 Duets & Trios
Artists that choose to participate place their name in the hat. Duos are drawn; everyone goes off to their corners to practice something; after 5 minutes the musicians are called back to the stage and the performances begin. This crazy cycle repeats itself through out the night--building to a crazy jubilee at the end of the evening. It's always fun to see who's picked together. A great way for novices to cut some chops and for pros to relearn theirs.
