Bluegrass fans, take heed!

The International Bluegrass Music Museum in Owensboro, KY is about to host what is sure to be a historically significant bluegrass concert.

The museum, about three hours east of St. Louis (205 miles), has booked every single still living/performing member of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame to perform for the Bill Monroe Centennial Celebration. This is a massive three day performance concert taking place Sept. 12-14.

The event celebrates the life and 100th birthday of Bill Monroe, popularly known as the Father of Bluegrass Music, who was born in nearby Rosine, Kentucky on September 13, 1911.

Performers include Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Jesse McReynolds, J. D. Crowe, Bobby Osborne, Eddie Adcock, Tom Gray, Curly Seckler, Everett Lilly, The Lewis Family, Bill Clifton, Doug Dillard, Rodney Dillard, Melvin Goins, and Paul Williams. Special guests include Fletcher Bright and The Dismembered Tennesseans, and the guest of honor, James Monroe, who will be performing with his band. James performed with his father Bill Monroe for many years as one of the Blue Grass Boys.
