The well-known Second Chance Bluegrass Band will take the stage from 2:30- 4:45 and the day will close with Back Porch Bluegrass Band performing from 7:00 PM until 9:30 PM.
Second Chance Bluegrass Band is comprised of four musically versatile artists that are quickly earning a reputation on the regional bluegrass and bluegrass gospel circuit for delighting audiences with their intricate, all-male harmonies, and their high-energy, acoustical sound that is sure to make you clap your hands and tap your feet.
Second Chance Bluegrass is committed to serving God, whom they feel has given them a second chance in life through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Armed with this commitment and living this mission, 2CB is pickin’ and singin’ a message of what they simply describe as, “bluegrass blessing” to a diverse fan base of music lovers that spans the entire southeast.
Back Porch Bluegrass Band is known throughout the state for their traditional hard-driving bluegrass style. From the traditional songs of Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, The Stanley Brothers, IIIrd Tyme Out, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, The Lonesome River Band, and Blue Highway to the contemporary flair and artistry of the Kruger Brothers, BackPorch Bluegrass is a fan favorite wherever they play
