Sawmill Road to
Play at Bowers!
June 6, 2008 |
Line-up
changes happen, such is the way in the music
business. When our headliner cancelled
recently we were so lucky to find that Sawmill
Road had an opening in their busy festival
schedule to step in that day! If you
haven't heard of Sawmill Road, you will.
They are making bluegrass news with their new
CD, "1", they won the National Bluegrass
Playoffs at the Huck Finn Bluegrass Jubilee, and
will be showcased by the IBMA at their 2008
convention. Check out their website and
sound at
http://www.sawmillroad.net/main.htm
And if that
isn't enough to whet your bluegrass appetite,
take a look at the rest of the line-up:
The Monday Night Volunteers, The Biggest Little
Bluegrass Band, Wild Horse Drive, The Bar BQ
Boys, Wild Creek, and Sidesaddle & Co.
Then take a
look at what's happening all weekend at Davis
Creek Campground! On Friday night, August 15th
we're hosting a show at the campground
Amphitheater featuring a jam at 7:30, then
Nevada Rain takes the stage at 8:30pm. On
Saturday evening after the Bowers Stage closes
we'll host a contra dance at Davis Creek
Campground! After the dance gather at the fire
pit in the group camping area to jam into the
night. And on Sunday morning, August 17th we
host a gospel show at the campground
Amphitheater featuring Jim Lappin & Friends,
Wild Creek Gospel Trio, West Wind and the Hava
Juice Trio. Except for the camping fee, events
at Davis Creek Campground are Free! You'll want
to get your reservation in for the group camping
area - send your request to
nnbamailbox@sbcglobal.net Reservations are
taken on a first come basis. Spaces for
trailers/motor homes are nearly gone but there's
still lots of space for tents. Folks can also
camp in the regular campground with a short walk
to all the Davis Creek events. Bower's Festival
is about 2 miles away. Check out the Bowers
Festival website at
