MILES CITY IS GEARING UP, TOO

The Miles City Bluegrass festival is held during the third weekend of September each year. Confirmed Performers for the 2015 Miles City Bluegrass Festival are: High Plains Tradition,Greg Blake & Mountain Soul, The Woodpicks, Cold Heart, Song Dog Serenade, and Cotton Wood. Notably absent are any local Miles City bands which normally appear in their hometown event. They may be added later. It is good to see that promoter Gloria Tucker has included Billings area pickers the past two years. Being only 150 miles away they are much more affordable than those from MN and elsewhere.  This year it will be Song Dog Serenade. Most bands listed have at least four and many have five bluegrass musicians. Song Dog has just three, but they produce a lot of music for a trio.  After all many of the most iconic rock bands were "power trios."  Actually Scott and Paddy Moore cut their teeth as rockers, but are now confirmed bluegrassers. It should be another great show in Miles City this September.
