The Northern California Bluegrass Society has announced the ‘Tweener Stage Schedule for the NCBS Gathering at the San Benito County Historical Park in Tres Pinos on Saturday, July 10, 2021. This is a FREE event.
‘Tweener Stage (alternates with Main Stage):
12:45pm — Scared Of Bees
1:45 — Kim Elking, Lee Anne Welch, & Sonia Shell
(Coming Soon: First Stage Line-Up, 10:00am-Noon)
A brand new post-pandemic event — The NCBS Gathering — will be held on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at the San Benito County Historical Park, 8300 Airline Highway in Tres Pinos, 7 miles south of Hollister. This is a FREE event.
This familiar venue has been the home of both the Northern California Bluegrass Society Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival and the Brookdale Bluegrass Festival for the past few years.
So, you probably know the place. What should you expect when you come to the new July 10 event?
You will enjoy the drive down to the lovely hamlet of Tres Pinos and then enter the San Benito County Historical Park. Beginning at 10:00am, there will be bluegrass music on several stages. You and your friends can set up your day camp with your usual chairs, tables, ice chests, and shade canopy, or you can rely on the park’s picnic tables and shade trees in the south end of the park, near the main stage. NCBS has reserved Picnic Areas 8 & 9. You can relax, picnic, and jam with your many friends who will visit you at your day camp.
The main stage will be the usual GOF stage, but it will face the historic village square, not the big field where we usually fly a shade cloth. There will be picnic tables and space for your folding chairs in the square. The main stage show will run Noon-3:00pm. There will be intimate ‘tweener sets between main stage acts. A small stage in the picnic area will have acoustic music between 10:00am and Noon.
After the main stage shuts down, jamming and relaxing will continue until 5:00pm.
If you decide not to bring your own food and drink, our friends with the San Benito County Historical Society will be serving grilled sausages and more and the Saloon will be serving the finest soft drinks.
This will be a fun, relaxed gathering of people that you haven’t seen in a while!
And remember…all of your friends will be there!
The FREE NCBS Gathering at the San Benito County Historical Park in Tres Pinos will be held on Saturday, July 10, 2021. There will be bluegrass bands onstage and jamming all around. It is time for all of us to get together and see each other after the long pandemic separation.
Picnicking will be available. You can bring your own food and drink, or the San Benito County Historical Society will sell food and drink if you do not want to bring your own.
The event will begin at 10:00am and end at 5:00pm. The Main Stage will run Noon-5:00pm with the Wildcat Mountain Ramblers, Eric Burman & The Brookdale Bluegrass Band, and Hoot N Holler. Additional bands will perform 10:00am-Noon. Jamming will happen all day until 5:00pm. Tours of the Historical Village will be available.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 26, 2021 at 1:00pm at the First Presbyterian Church of Mountain View for Carol Edmundson, a longtime member and leader of the Northern California Bluegrass Society/Santa Cruz Bluegrass Society.
