“Bluegrass at the Ely,” will be presented at the Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 9.
Popular groups being featured include: Pat Ickes and Bound to Ride, delivering traditional bluegrass songs; Barwick and Siegfried from Grass Valley performing folk and bluegrass songs on mandolin and guitar; The Thin Air String Band, gifted Mendocino College teachers performing a blend of folk and acoustic songs with rich harmonies; local artists, the Cobb Stompers featuring banjo, fiddle, and guitar; Uncorked, a band of talented musicians that has been performing Irish and bluegrass for many years in Lake County and the Konocti Fiddle Club consisting of gifted young fiddlers led by Kelseyville’s Andy Skelton.
The event is being produced by the Lake County Historical Society (LCHS) and the Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association (AMIA).
The concert will benefit the two groups, which are charitable non-profits that work on preserving and protecting both the Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum and Anderson Marsh State Historic Park. The groups have joined together this year to present the Bluegrass event on the Ely Stage Stop grounds on Highway 281 (between the Clear Lake Riviera and Highway 29).
