Usually, Father’s Day Weekend in Northern California for bluegrass fans means gathering at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley for the largest bluegrass festival on the West Coast. But not this year — the Coronavirus Crisis has taken care of that.
The California Bluegrass Association and Nevada City’s KVMR Radio will fill Saturday, June 20, 2020 with online bluegrass to (safely) fill that gap a bit. The music will be free and available wherever your internet-enabled computer may be. Voluntary donations will be accepted.
