Bluegrass musicians and fans take note - Delfest rolls back into the area on Memorial Day weekend of 2009. If you're spending the weekend at Deep Creek Lake, you'll be able to make a quick day trip to see some great music. In addition to the Del McCoury Band, the initial line-up includes Sam Bush, Railroad Earth, Tim O'Brien, The Infamous Stringdusters and J.D. Crowe and the New South among others. In addition to the music festival, this year's event features an inaugural DelFest Academy to be offered May 18-21, 2009. The academy includes three days of classes and performances for banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and bass as taught by members of the Del McCoury band and others.
The Academy will offer two levels of instruction: Level 1 (novice to intermediate) and Level 2 (intermediate to advanced) for guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and bass. A meet & greet for students and instructors will kick off the academic week. A Q&A session with the Del McCoury Band and a wrap party on Thursday night will also take place.
A very limited number of spots are available for the 2009 Academy. Each Academy ticket includes an Adult 3-day pass for DelFest. If you are planning to attend the Academy with a family member or friend who does not wish to attend, a limited number of guest passes are also available. Guest passes allow your guest to camp with you on the DelFest site and enjoy the Monday and Thursday evening events in addition to attending DelFest. For more information visit www.delfest.com.
