World of Bluegrass ticket proceeds benefit Bluegrass Trust Fund
Industry folks and bluegrass fans alike will want to reserve their tickets as soon as possible for IBMA’s Bluegrass Fan Fest, scheduled for October 5-7, 2007, in the comfortable indoor setting of the Nashville Convention Center. The star-studded event that wraps up World of Bluegrass Week (Oct. 1-7) will present the talents of more than 60 acts on four stages, including the Main Stage, the Roots & Branches Stage, the Masters Workshop Stage and the Grand Master Fiddler Championship.
The proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Bluegrass Trust Fund, established to help bluegrass professionals during times of emergency need, as well as IBMA’s marketing and educational events during the year. All artists appearing at the event donate their time and talents for the cause. National sponsors for the festival are Martha White Foods, the Bluegrass Radio Network and Martin Guitars.
“Carl Jackson (Fan Fest producer) has assembled a remarkable lineup to fill every corner of the place and minute of the time for this bluegrass reunion. There are always special moments on stage each year, and it’s no wonder folks lose so much sleep. You can’t afford to miss a second of this event.”Dan Hays, IBMA Executive Director
