FALL CONCERT 2011: A Smashing BGE Experience
Bluegrass Experience 40th Anniversary Concert
Friday, November 4 • 8PM • Fearrington Barn
On Friday, November 4th, the Bluegrass Experience and Special Guest, Clyde Edgerton dazzled a crowd of nearly 600 fans!
There was the usual world class picking and witty banter by
Bluegrass member and co-founder Tommy Edwards, the group’s lead guitarist, vocalist and his five band mates. Current group members include Thomas “Snuffy” Smith on bass, Stan Brown on banjo, Mike Aldridge on mandolin.
Another former member Leroy Savage joined in on guitar and soulful tenor vocals. Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Keith Thomas, who played 17 years with the band, also joined in the raucous good time that lasted until nearly midnight.
Thank you to Julie Kolischak, Tyson Laney, and Susan Ketchen for sharing many great memories of their own Bluegrass Experience. Julie's Black & White photos of the band from "back in the day" offer a special highlight.
