The Northern California Bluegrass Society welcomes the FREE 19th Annual Holiday Hootenanny on Friday, December 13 at 4:00pm.

The gathering will be presented by the Devil’s Canyon Brewing Company, 935 Washington Street in San Carlos. Fine beer will be served and a variety of food trucks will be there. There will be space for jamming. The stage schedule has been announced:

Former Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival & Brookdale Bluegrass Festival performer David Holodiloff has recently encountered over $20,000 in medical expenses.

Dave recently underwent an unexpected series of four surgical procedures on his knee, resulting in a debilitating staph infection, hospitalization, various medical treatments, and ongoing physical therapy. This ordeal has put an immeasurable strain on Dave’s musical career and finances.

The Holofest acoustic music festival will be held on Thanksgiving Weekend to benefit his medical fund. The three-day event will run Friday, November 29-Sunday, December 1, 2024. Multi-instrumentalist Holodiloff plays all kinds of music, including bluegrass, and this event will reflect his wide-ranging acoustic tastes.

There is no admission charge, but donations will be welcomed. The program will be held at the Pacific Grove Meetinghouse, 599 Lighthouse Avenue
Pacific Grove, CA 93950. Many bands will perform. Hours: FRIDAY & SATURDAY: 10:00am-8:00pm, SUNDAY: 10:00am-2:00pm.
