2024 Fly In Festival ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle are returning to the Fly In Festival and landing on the stage Saturday July 27th at 10:00 pm to close out this year's festival !!!
The Cincinnati-based ensemble Buffalo Wabs (as in ‘mobs’) and the Price Hill Hustle can be best described as ‘American’-- from the mountains to Music Row, blues-gospel to traditional country, the Hustle combines parts of the American-born genre catalogue to create an energetic experience every single night.

This four-piece moves from fast-paced, foot-stomping anthems to harmony-laden ballads and traditional dirges of spirit and labor. “The group started around the love of music that moves you,” says drummer/vocalist and band spokesman, Casey Campbell. “The music accompanies the story; and sometimes the music is the story by which we can all connect to one another.”
“We play music that we connect to, whether it’s an old find or a new line. We want it to mean something, every time.”

The members of Buffalo Wabs and the Price Hill Hustle are:

Matt Wabnitz aka Buffalo Wabs - Lead guitar, lead vocal.

Casey Campbell aka The Deacon - Drums/percussion, vocal

Scott Risner aka The Kentucky Waterfall - Mandolin, vocal, resonator guitar, tenor banjo

Bill Baldock aka Bullseye Bill - Upright bass, vocal

So bring your favorite dish, and let's all gather at the dinner table !!!!!

Today's Artist Spotlight for the 2024 Fly In Festival is on our good friends, Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass ,
They have been part of the Fly In Festival since 2018, and can always be found around the campground jamming, besides their stage show. This year's return of Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass is brought to you by the Allegheny Echoes Summer Workshops.
Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass continue to be deeply rooted in tradition but look to the future with enthusiasm and anticipation. The group’s latest release, Bluegrass Troubadour, was nominated for IBMA’s Album of the Year and earned significant chart action, with the song Blink of an Eye spending several months at the #1 spot on the Bluegrass music charts and was also nominated for IBMA Song of the Year.

Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass play powerful, unadorned, and intense traditional bluegrass. There is no hybrid or genre-bending music here. Their combination of instrumentation and vocals convey the energy and emotion of classic bluegrass and country music. Danny’s lead vocals will captivate your senses, so much so that many prominent musicians, including Alison Krauss, have considered Danny as one of their favorite singers. His voice combines powerful range and soulful blues with a sound like no one else in bluegrass today.
