"We've been described as both a 'bluegrass band with punk rock 
influences' and 'a band liked by people who don't even like 
bluegrass.'" (PHB guitarist Josh Erwin) 

This Friday evening (March 25) Packway Handle Band returns to the 
Wildflower Pavilion to top their now legendary standing-room-only 
October 2008 Wildflower Concert. 

The Athens, GA-based quintet (voted that musical city's best bluegrass 
band for 8 years) dances around a single microphone mixing 4-part 
gospel harmonies, witty originals, and irreverent covers (from Violent 
Femmes to Stevie Wonder to INXS). Their fresh, energetic sound has 
earned them 2nd place finishes in both the Telluride and RockyGrass 
band contests and tours throughout the US and Europe.

This Friday evening they'll be joined by Fort Collins' jamgrassers 
Whitewater Ramble for a high-energy bluegrass blowout in our 
Cathedral of Bluegrass.

Tickets will be available at the door on Friday night ($15). But save 
yourself $3 and order advance tickets now at shop.bluegrass.com, 
303-823-0848, or in-person at The Stone Cup.

Plan to spend a full evening in our wonderful little town 
of Lyons. Enjoy one of our great restaurants (sushi, pizza, 
Mexican, brewpub, tapas, and more). Play a few games of 
classic pinball, then walk over to Planet Bluegrass to 
grab drinks at the Wildflower bar (New Belgium Beer, wine, 
and hot drinks) and the bonfire along the river (weather 
permitting). Doors open at 7pm and Whitewater Ramble goes 
on-stage at 8pm. We can't wait to see you Friday night.

Best,
The folks on Planet Bluegrass
