Headliners this year are  Buncombe Turnpike, who will be releasing this summer a new cd called “Ditch Diggin’ Blues”.  While they are well known in the Asheville area, they are excited to be one of 50 groups that will be playing at the upcoming Brisol Rhythm & Roots Reunion festival. Mama Said and The Dollar Brothers Band along with a host of other great pickers will open for Buncombe Turnpike.  Opening the stage at noon are “Marie Reid & Rick Edmisten (Duo)",  Fire Creek and Unspoken Tradition will follow, and then the headliners will begin.  We are also very happy that Josh Hudson will join us again this year and he’ll be picking on the porch.

We will also feature a number of artisans displaying their original crafts, including Jewelry, clothing, pottery, pencil & acrylic art, handbags, scarves and a massage therapist, to name but a few of the artisans.

Our “Field of Screams” returns with longer hours starting at noon until 4:00 p.m. and more games for young and old.  Along with our bocce ball contest, corn hole toss and, volleyball, we’re adding hillbilly golf and tug-of-war.  NEW this year will be a petting zoo for the kids, compliments of Harvest Works. 

Another NEW feature this year will be a host of wineries.  We are excited to be able to showcase this industry, including Buffalo Creek from Fallston, WoodMill Winery from Vale & Southern Charm from Lincolnton.

There’s an array of food vendors for your convenience, but you are also welcome to bring your picnic basket, along with chairs and umbrellas. We’ve addressed the sound system this year and are pleased that A Sound Experience will help blast out the bluegrass sounds from our pasture.   This is a rain or shine event.
