... Quote ... “Strictly Country’s killer new compilation, ’10 Years of European World of Bluegrass’… strikes a nice balance between European and North American acts and showcases some truly brilliant performances. It also serves as a wonderful introduction for many of us to some truly incredible European based musicians. I, for one, am in awe of such groups as Blue Cartel, Jussi Syren, 4-Wheel Drive, and Monogram.” - Dave Higgs, Bluegrass Breakdown, Nashville Public Radio, Tennessee |
European World of Bluegrass Festival 2010 Program is in the works! Every year more than 100 bands and artists apply for the 42 available showcase spots at the European World of Bluegrass Festival in Holland, and this year was no exception. The EWOB Program Committee has had a tough job choosing from so many wonderful groups, but the showcase invitations have gone out. As soon as all the bands have confirmed their availability for specific days and times, we will have our new program ready. It should be on the website with band website info around mid-February. Bands interested in applying to play at the EWOB Festival, please note that we are booked for 2010, and the application period for the 2011 festival begins on Sept. 20, 2010. We will be happy to hear from you at that time. Meanwhile, come on into the site and read more about our unique and lovely event, and join us in May for the 13th European World of Bluegrass Festival!
Visit
We come from many different countries, but we speak one common language: BLUEGRASS! Geographic, political, and cultural borders fall away as we join together to celebrate our love for bluegrass music, and meet new friends from faraway lands. Maybe world peace can start with a banjo intro.
Bring your friends, your family, your guitars, banjos, mandolins, dobros, basses, and fiddles, and join in the fun!
