[ View this email as a web page: http://www.bluegrass.com/emails-wf/2012/WF-2012-09-18.html ] =================================================================== For the 6th consecutive year we've invited two of our favorite musicians, Adam Aijala & Ben Kaufmann, from one of our favorite bands, Yonder Mountain String Band, to help us celebrate the official last day of summer – this Saturday, September 22. These Mabon Celebrations have become legendary – even Sunset Magazine highlighted this year's Celebration! – as Adam and Ben dig deep into their vast chests of songs (from Yonder rarities to cover surprises) and instruments (banjos, mandolins, keyboards, guitars) for 2 expansive sets of acoustic music. Stream two tracks from Ben's personal archive – including a set of Irish tunes learned from Lunasa at: http://snd.sc/PoJ8NN Plan to spend the whole summery Saturday afternoon on Planet Bluegrass for a day that ListenUpDenver calls "one of the most beautiful events I have ever taken part in." The Ranch gates open at 2pm to setup your camp; partake in Mabon revelry; and share in Mabon feasting including: gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, fresh-cut french fries, garlic knots, and homemade soups. All day we'll be serving wines and New Belgium beers. Then at 7pm we open the Wildflower doors, with Ben & Adam taking the stage at 8pm. Tickets and camping are available right now at http://shop.bluegrass.com or 800-624-2422 (with no service fees, of course). We expect to have tickets available Saturday at the gate, but check http://www.bluegrass.com for the latest availability. --------------------------- ** 6TH ANNUAL MABON CELEBRATION FEATURING ** ** ADAM AIJALA & BEN KAUFMANN OF YONDER MTN STRING BAND ** Saturday, September 22, 8:00pm $30 advance --------------------------- ** GRANT FARM ** ** w/ INTERSTATE STASH EXPRESS ** Friday, October 19, 8:00pm $10 advance / $12 door --------------------------- ** JESSE WINCHESTER ** Saturday, October 20, 8:00pm $25 advance --------------------------- ** ABIGAIL WASHBURN ** ** w/ CAHALEN MORRISON & ELI WEST ** Friday, October 26, 8:00pm $17 advance / $20 door --------------------------- ** PERT NEAR SANDSTONE ** ** w/ TROUT STEAK REVIVAL ** Friday, November 2, 8:00pm $12 advance / $15 door --------------------------- While the Mabon Celebration is our last September show, plan to join us again in mid-October for 4 more Wildflower evenings, including songwriting legend Jesse Winchester (covered by Lyle Lovett at this year's Folks Fest).
