WAIS presents bluegrass band
The 2004-2005 Walton Arts & Ideas Series kicks
off this month with the The Old School Bluegrass Band performing at
the university at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 23, in the Walton Fine Arts
Center.
The Old School Bluegrass Band celebrates “traditional”
bluegrass, with most of their selections coming from the masters of
the early to mid-20th Century, including Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs,
and the Stanley Brothers. The band invites you to join them as they
embrace the delightful sounds of this original mountain music, which
has, in recent years, enjoyed a new popularity. Whether it’s the
bright tinkling strum of fingers playing a banjo or the blend of voices
in multi-part unity, the sound of bluegrass is bright, timeless and
full of rejoicing. This will be an evening for the whole family to enjoy!
Tickets for the event are $10 for the general public.
Tickets for university students, faculty and staff are free.
