The Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum will open the weekend of October 18th-20th, 2018 and we're SO excited. There will be live music, special guests, exhibit openings, and a celebration of the legends of bluegrass music. This is truly a special place.

My tour today of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum reminded me of the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It's just packed with exhibits, artifacts and more!

The state-of-the-art Woodward Theatre is gorgeous. Comfy seats, one of the best sound and light systems in the country and a lot of leg and elbow room. They thought of everything! I can't wait to see a show. Luckily, there's some great acts coming soon which include: Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, The Del McCoury Band, Sam Bush, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Hot Rize. Tickets on sale now at: www.bluegrassmuseum.org/tickets.

Come hungry as there's also great concessions with ice cold beverages available. They even set up big screen televisions to broadcast the concerts in the lobby so you don't miss a thing when your getting that snack or drink!

While your there be sure to check out the IBMA Bluegrass Hall of Fame. These are the pioneers of Bluegrass Music and deserve the recognition. They also have installed watch and listen stations to take a video and oral history journey through the thousands of archives.
