Watermelon Park Fest Has Deep Roots, And Branches Out

Watermelon Park – September 23-25, 2010 - Berryville, VA

Tradition runs deep at Watermelon Park Fest, as just about any current Bluegrass or Country artists could tell you. It was, according to most, the first multi-day bluegrass festival in history, happening first sometime in the early 1960’s. Since then it has been host to a staggering lineup of now legendary performers including The Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Flatt & Scruggs, Patsy Cline, and The Stanley Brothers, to name but a few.

So the folks attending Watermelon Park Fest are expecting to see some great traditional music, and this they shall. This year’s artists were all selected for their dedication and respect to the craft. But they were also selected because they don’t just mimic heirloom sounds from the past, but rather because they take its inspiration, and contribute something brand new to the whole. And this not only honors traditional music, it sustains its continuance in our culture.

This year’s Watermelon Park Fest lineup includes Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile, Justin Townes Earle, The Lonesome River Band, Bruce Molsky, Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole, The Woodshedders, Larry Keel, David Via, & John Flower, Gary Ruley & Mule Train, Shannon Whitworth, The Fox Hunt, The Hot Seats, The High & Mighty Brass Band, Old Sledge, The Martin Family Band, The Clubhouse Gang, The Polka Dots, and Jake and the Burtones. Also featured will be the 2009 Watermelon Park Fest Band Contest winner Gaven Largent, and The 2010 Pickers’ Jubilee Band Showcase winner Jubal’s Kin.

Additional entertainment includes The Fairbuilt Guitar and Weber Mandolin Pickin’ Contests, The Watermelon Park Fest Band Contest, artist-led jams and workshops, dances, kid’s activities, environmental displays, food and craft vendors, plus tons of outdoor activities including swimming, fishing, canoeing, tubing, hiking, biking, and more.

Once again, Watermelon Park Fest will be powered entirely by Wind. They won’t have wind turbines onsite, but will purchase Renewable Energy Certificates to offset the carbon footprint of energy consumed to produce the festival. Recycling will be provided, as well as biodegradable cups and dishes.

Earlybird Tickets are available through August 31st at $50 for the Weekend (Thurs-Sun). On September 1st ticket prices become $70 for the Weekend (Thurs-Sun). Per day tickets are $40 each. Children 12 and under are FREE. This year’s event also offers FREE CAMPING with Admission (on ticket night only). Water and Electric Hookups available at $50 for Thursday through Sunday – RV Reservations available online only.

Paper weekend tickets are available at JV Music in Berryville, VA; The Guitar Studio in Winchester, VA; Melodee Music in Leesburg, VA; and at Watermelon Park in Berryville, VA.  Weekend will-call passes, day passes and RV reservations are available online at http://www.watermelonparkfest.com or at the gate if not sold out.

Watermelon Park Fest Has Deep Roots, And Branches Out
Watermelon Park – September 24-26, 2009 - Berryville, VA
Tradition runs deep at Watermelon Park Fest, as just about any current Bluegrass or Country artists could

sometime in the early 1960’s. Since then she has been host to a staggering lineup of now legendary
performers including The Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Flat & Scruggs, Patsy Cline, and The

This year’s Watermelon Park Fest lineup includes the bluegrass and old-time of The Peter Rowan Bluegrass
Band, Tim O’Brien, Bruce Molsky, Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, Randy Waller & The Country Gentlemen,
Furnace Mountain Band, Danny Knicely’s Bluegrass and Beyond, The Whiskey Rebellion, Walker’s Run, The
Fox Hunt, The Speakeasy Boys, Chesham Creek, and the Acoustic Burgoo; the gypsy swing and folk jazz
of The Woodshedders, and Taarka; the Cajun sounds of Cedric Watson and Bijou Creole; and the side
stage always brings some great surprises.
New this year is the Watermelon Park Fest Band Contest, where bands will compete for a prime-time
performance slot this year, paid slots for next year’s fest, and more. Additional entertainment includes The
Fairbuilt Guitar Pickin’ Contest, open jams, Cajun, old-time, and freestyle dances, workshops, kid’s
activities, environmental displays and films, food and craft vendors, plus tons of outdoor activities
including swimming, fishing, canoeing, tubing, hiking, biking, and more.
Once again, Watermelon Park Fest will be powered entirely by Wind. They won’t have wind turbines
onsite, but have purchased Renewable Energy Certificates from a company called Clean Currents, the
same company that powers My Organic Market. It will also feature locally provided and organic food,
recycling, free filtered water, and biodegradable cups and dishes made of corn.

Last year, more than 1,000 events in 59 countries commemorated the life of journalist- musician Daniel Pearl - a seeker of truth who used his pen and fiddle to foster tolerance, bridge cultural divides and spread friendship and humanity. Please visit danielpearlmusicdays.org to register your upcoming October events today.



There is no financial obligation involved. Your participation in the World Music Days network of concerts requires only that you make a dedication from the stage or in the printed program to the values by which Danny lived. If you do not have any concerts scheduled during the October window, events can be registered as Tribute Events year round.

It's had some really good write-ups already, and the single, 'Simple Love', is doing well.

The link is in my signature, along with the tracklisting and all that.

Are you all into Alison Krauss on here?
