Busy Bird Bluegrass

21/07/2024

Hey Busy Birds! Just a short trip up in apple country, our friends from the Brantling Bluegrass Festival have a great lineup for next weekend. Go camp or make a day trip of it!

17/07/2024

Stage performances are great but what makes a great festival are the campfire jams. This Jam lasted until almost 3 AM. What a great way to cap off the Saturday night!

What's left to say? What a great weekend! Sure it was hot but the bands were hotter! A huge shout-out to all the bands that performed. A special thanks to the volunteers, vendors and sponsors and a huge thank you to the fans. This journey started in 2004 with a simple wish from a wonderful woman. In 2012, we were honored to carry on with that wish and we hope we did her proud. What now? Who knows! Somewhere down the road, in a perfect situation and all the stars are aligned, maybe the Busy Bird can fly again. You never know. For now, we say so long.
