Proving that Bluegrass Music will always survive aslong as it doesn’t get popular, this is the 12th an-nual “Laughing Waters” Bluegrass Festival! Blue-
grass, for those of you just making your first visit from theplanet iPod III, involves certain acoustic instruments(banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and upright “doghouse”bass) and two or three part “close” harmony singing. Fromthe start, Bluegrass has been a mixture of rural and city, coun-try, folk, swing, blues and what-have-you. It goes throughspells of fancy to raw and back again. Maybe that’s why it’ssurvived so well.
In the Twin Cities area, you can hear bluegrass regularlyon Friday and Saturday nights at Dulono’s Pizza (see their adin this program). On Saturday mornings, tune in to KBEM’s“Bluegrass Saturday Morning” show (88.5 FM). Also checkout MBOTMA, the Min-nesota Bluegrass and Old-Time MusicAssociation.
This year, through thegenerosity of Jim Whit-ney, we are able to featureinternationally-knownLaurie Lewis as ourheadliner.
Don’t be shy abouttalking to the band mem-bers. We’re “just folks”and are glad you like what we do. Bluegrass is just about theonly music where most of the audience plays too. That helpsto keep our hats from getting too small for our heads!
Since forming in 2006, The High 48s havegrabbed the attention of festival audiencesin the Upper Midwest and beyond, released
two critically acclaimed CDs and won first place inthe 2008 RockyGrass Band Competition.
The High 48s play bluegrass in the traditionalstyle, with close three-part harmonies sung arounda single microphone. But they don’t draw theirmaterial exclusively from bluegrass’s “first genera-tion,” artists like Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs,and Jimmy Martin. The High 48s focus instead onwriting material that combines the soul and driveof first-generation bluegrass with the harder-edged sound of alternative country and roots rock.
