This is what we posted for the Winter 2005 Festival - It was great!

Scroll on down and see the whole darn thang...

The 6th Annual Winter Brookdale Bluegrass Festival will be happening on December 9th, 10th, and 11th at the cozy old lodge in the redwoods of the San Lorenzo Valley.   Yep, we're doing it again, and YOU are invited!  Check out the line up so far - You can all look forward to some blissful, musical chaos, and assorted acts, natural and unnatural, with a variety of musical instruments. 

Eric Burman and the usual gang of down-home music enthusiasts will be on hand to bring you the delightful entertainment we have all come to know and love. This year's lineup includes festival favorites Sid Lewis and Crazy Grass as the ultimate act on Friday night.  

Saturday will fire up with  the outstanding  Chojo Jacques Band, featuring Houston Jones:
Chojo will be bringing his version of a bluegrass band to the festival on Saturday December 10th. The band consists of Glenn Houston on lead guitar, Travis Jones on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Chris Kee on bass, and Peter Tucker on percussion, all members of Houston Jones. They will perform their own arrangements of traditional bluegrass instrumentals, as well as material from Houston Jones’ newest CD Three Crow Town, co-produced by Chojo.

On Sunday, we once again have the great pleasure of Harmony Grits, followed by

 the inimitable Joe Craven; and his "Transitional Traditional" Music as the headliner. Now Joe will come whistling down from the friendly skies to drop in on our humble fest as he returns from a whirlwind tour of Alabama. and who will be joining him on the big stage? no telling, of course, and:

In Joe's words: "I'll create some looping of myself as I play fiddle tunes, sing, etc.,... 
Let’s call it “Joe Craven - Old Timey Beat Box Music”.
