If you want to find me at Grey Fox, most of the time I'll be at one of two places:

I'll live at Bass Camp where the picking and the company are fabulous and the tarps are well engineered. We usually manage to set up right across from the Kids Academy around the middle of section E. Look for our flag.

I'll also be manning the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association sponsor table on the midway, Thursday 2p-4p and Friday 4p-6p. Expect picking to spontaneously erupt at the HVBA table, so come by and bring your axe.

Live music from Catskill Mountain Band, Grass Valley, and On The Trail 🪕🎻🤘🏼🎶

This event was really lovely last year, I’m looking forward to it and glad that Catskill Mountain String Band will be there again. There’s plenty of room to spread out and pick during the day, and I hope our Hudson Valley Bluegrass pickers will do just that. Last year, many of the performers hung around after the shows were over and picked for a while, I expect that will happen again this year; I know I’ll be ready to jam when Catskill Mountain String Band is done performing.
