2010 Old Mill Bluegrass Festival 

 

Saturday, July 10th, kicks off the 15th annual Old Mill Bluegrass Festival in West Liberty, which is a two day event.  Over the past years, some of the biggest names in the bluegrass music industry have graced the stage in Old Mill Park - Dr. Ralph Stanley, Lonesome River Band, Mountain Heart, The Dillards, Third Tyme Out, The Osborne Brothers, Larry Sparks, The Grascals and others.
 
This year the Old Mill Festival Committee is excited and pleased to bring Rhonda Vincent and the Rage to the stage as the headliner band.  She will be on hand for two shows on Saturday.
 

Rhonda is known for her outstanding, billowing voice and she has won the International Bluegrass Achievement Award seven times.  She also won Female Vocalist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.  She is a master mandolin player as well.  The Committee has  tried for several years to book her at the festival, but due to conflicting shedules, had been unable to until this year.  They anticipate the largest crowd ever.
 
Many local bands will be performing as well, and church and civic groups will have food booths, with much good food, including soup beans and corn bread, fish sandwiches, charbroiled hamburgers and hotdogs, funnel cakes, and much more!  Moneys received go to people in need and to assist sick children.
 
In addition to Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, other bands performing will include Don Rigsby and Midnight Call, Clarence Kelly and NuCut Road, Cathy Baker and Beracah Valley, Kati Penn Band, Billie Renee and Cumberland Gap, Bluegrass Online, Bartley Brothers, Roland Dunn, East Kentucky Gospel Boys, The Bluegrass Wranglers, Merle Peyton and After Midnight, Darrell Winkleman and Mountain Echoes, and Gospel Witness (William Walter, Mark Walter, Marvin Holbrook and David Wayne Nickell).
 
As in the past, thanks to the generosity to many organizations, businesses and individuals, admission is free.  There is no charge!  Old Mill Festival Committee members Lanny Franklin; chairman, Tike Franklin, Danny Joe Gevedon, Clara Jackson, Quentin Murphy, Linda Patrick and Bill Trusty extend an invitation to all to come, bring the family and enjoy two days of great bluegrass music in beautiful Old Mill Park.

We can't wait to see you at this years 15th Annual Old Mill Bluegrass Festival!!
