Naasville Bluegrass Music Festival 99

Jam with Hans Wahlstedt, Bo Gustafsson, Christian Nielsen, Leif Sunnebrandt and Benny Larsson.
You can now listen to a few of the bands - Yellow n Bluegrass, High On Grass and New City CowFreaks have all soundsamples at the bottom of their pages. The 9th Naasville Bluegrass Music Festival came at the same time as the first hot swedish summerdays. What you see here is preparation for the saturdays events that took place on the grass outside Lekhuset. The bands performed inside Lekhuset during the hot friday night.

The Friday event was held inside Lekhuset. We had a fancy scene again this year with hay-bales all around. The intimate atmosphere and the supportive audience made it into a steaming night with great music. The bands played into well over 12 at night and then the jams continued until 4 or 5 in the morning.

We had more publicity then ever before. Radio P4 broadcasted live for one hour during friday night. Later on, all music performed during the saturday was broadcasted on the internet with the help of the american Bluegrassradio station www.solidgoldbluegrass.com. Six solid hours of the best scandinavian bluegrassbands and one of the best american - BlueRidge.



If you never been to a Bluegrassfestival, you may not know that one of the most entertaining music is found in the jams that take place during and after the festival. A jam is when musicians get together to play, just for the pure fun of it.
