Spend a Musical Weekend in Pigeon Forge
By Jon Hoffman © 2011, All Rights Reserved
In the Great Smoky Mountains, summer's end is the perfect time to
gather with friends and enjoy the curious mix of jazz and blues
we call bluegrass, and which the Appalachian people call their
own. On the rolling countryside just outside Pigeon Forge, TN
lies Dumplin Valley Farm, where bluegrass lovers converge every
September for three days of music, laughs, food, and fun.
Appalachian History Set to Music
Born of the traditional music of the early European settlers and
strongly influenced by African-American culture, bluegrass music
is the voice of the Great Smoky Mountains. With its distinctive
fiddles, twanging banjos, and melodic harmonies, the music tells
poignant stories of hardships endured, love lost, and tragedies
overcome. Make plans this year to enjoy the music of the local
people as the mountains around Pigeon Forge, TN echo with the
legendary sounds of the Dumplin Valley Bluegrass Festival.
Nearly 30 acts representing the finest talents in bluegrass today
will take the stage at Dumplin Valley Farm to entertain you with
nonstop toe-tapping fun. From traditional bluegrass to gospel to
modern country favorites, everyone will find something to love in
this celebration of America's most original musical style.
The fun begins at Dumplin Valley Farm on September 15, 2011 and
continues nearly nonstop through September 17, breaking only for
supper each evening. Among the acts scheduled to appear at this
year's festival are Monroeville and the Quebe Sisters Band.
Monroeville is a new acoustic group that has already found a
loyal following for their unusual blend of old-time guitar
picking and modern-day rock 'n' roll. The lovely Quebe sisters
will entrance you with their stunning three-part harmony,
reminiscent of the big band era. Their swing-influenced sound has
won them fans everywhere they appear, and they are sure to be a
hit at this year's festival.
The music on stage is only a part of the fun, though. Impromptu
jam sessions pop up throughout the weekend, with everyone joining
in the picking and singing. You'll make new friends and maybe
even discover a hidden talent for playing bass. Of course, after
a day filled with music and friendship, you're sure to work up an
appetite. Head on over to one of the many on-site food vendors to
satisfy your hunger before making your way back to the barn for
more great music.
Make Plans to Attend this One-of-a-Kind Event
Pack your fiddle and your lawn chairs and head for the Great
Smoky Mountains this September for a fun-filled weekend of
old-time music and laughs. Be sure to make your reservations
before September 1, because early birds enjoy a weekend pass rate
of just $70. Daily rates are $25 in advance, and children under
12 attend free.
Whether you're a long-time fan of bluegrass or this is your first
experience, you're sure to enjoy your trip to the Great Smoky
Mountains. Bluegrass, country, and even rhythm and blues draw
from the rich culture and unique history of the area's first
settlers to form the unmistakable musical styles that are
distinctly American. Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of
this vibrant community for a magical, music-filled vacation your
family will love.
