The 28th Annual Northern California Bluegrass Society Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival will be held August 12-15, 2021 at the San Benito County Historical Park in Tres Pinos.

The duet act of Mike Fisher & Joanne Tanner closed the show at the 27th Annual Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival Online in the Santa Cruz Mountains on August 8, 2020. The Northern California Bluegrass Society staged the livestream program to take the place of the cancelled 4-day festival usually held in Tres Pinos. The archived show is available at the above link for your dining and dancing pleasure.

The Northern California Bluegrass Society’s 27th Annual Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival Online on August 8 presented The Goat Hill Girls and three other bands. Videographer Kevin Arnold livestreamed the full program, which is now archived and available (see link below). Enjoy!

Thanks to the Brookdale Bluegrass Band and everyone for a great virtual 27th Annual Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival Online, held on August 8, 2020. The NCBS livestream replaced the in-person GOF gathering that would have been held in Tres Pinos this past weekend. Bassist Robert Cornelius had some fun on the BBB’s performance of their modern murder ballad “Highway 9.”

You can still see the full show via the link below.

Thanks to everyone who made the 27th Annual Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival Online a big success. Great music, sound, video, and weather! Until we can gather again in person next August, our good digital memories from this August 8, 2020 livestream show in the Santa Cruz Mountains will have to do. Stay Safe!

The program is archived if you would like to see it (or see it again!):
