Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, March 29th and include camping at the Rancho Rio River resort along with a boat-load of daytime activities including the 2nd Annual Yarmony Kickball Tourney, music workshops, food vendors, water activities at Dinosaur Eddy, geologic and historic hikes, and even rafting on the famed Colorado River (booked and sold separately).The location and setting of a festival are what make music events memorable and YarmonyGrass has it all.

TnJ SPECIAL THIS WEEK

So, Toast-n-Jam falls on St. Patrick’s Day this year. Now, I’m pretty sure I’d be unable to cobble together a set list of Irish-themed music that would sit right with most of you. However, I think I could gather an equally-folky, but also jammy, enough show’s worth of bluegrass, newgrass, and jamgrass tracks to spin you into orbit. I’m kinda shocked I haven’t thought to do this before, actually.

So, let the word go forth: this Thursday (3/17/11) will be the first-ever TOAST-n-JAM HOEDOWN THROWDOWN!

Tune in, turn on, and jam out (^_^)

TOAST

Added 3/16/11: I just noticed one of the founders of the newgrass movement (Tim O'Brien) has a birthday today! Prescient (^_^)
