2009 Wildflower Schedule
Rich, inspiring, and fresh music will again fill the Wildflower Pavilion this year. With the addition of our new doors, the Pavilion is now a comfortable all-season venue. Look for music in the Pavilion; beer, wine, and other drinks at the bar; and (weather-permitting) bonfires by the river. Be sure you're signed up for the Wildflower email newsletter for all the latest news. Order your tickets at shop.bluegrass.com or 303-823-0848.
- Saturday, November 7, 2009
- 8pm show, 7pm doors
- Wildflower Pavilion @ Planet Bluegrass, Lyons, CO
- All-Ages / General admission
Two of bluegrass music's most gifted and adept players (and long-time veterans of Telluride Bluegrass and RockyGrass), perform a sparkling set of traditional and original duets. John Hartford once said that Mike Compton knows more about Bill Monroe style mandolin than the Father of Bluegrass himself. Mike has earned multiple Grammy awards as a member of the Nashville Bluegrass Band and through his involvement with the "O Brother Where Art Thou" album and tour. Three-time IBMA guitar player of the year, David Grier is widely admired as one of the all-time great flatpick guitarists. A member of numerous groups including Psychograss, David has earned two Grammy awards and released several critically acclaimed solo CDs. Since Mike and David's 1991 recording Climbing the Walls, they have occasionally come together for intimate sets of duets.
They played the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival; and on November 7 they will fill the Wildflower Pavilion with virtuosity, creativity, and old-time mountain soul.
