Lonesome River Band at Sally 2010!

Sally Gap Bluegrass Festival is pleased to announce that Lonesome River Band will once again be playing at beautiful Sally Gap! LRB will be closing the show on Saturday night, just as they’ve done the last two years. And if the last two years are any indication, many of the band’s members will remain to pick and mingle with the fans. At Sally Gap ‘09, Sammy Shelor joined a public jam which drew a large crowd of people (see picture below).

Sammy Shelor played in this jam until 3 a.m.! And he didn’t just play…after the jam he gave advice to up-and-coming banjo players, including Blue Storm’s banjo player seen in the picture below.

Lonesome River Band is truly a class act! They connect with the fans in a way that is rarely seen among cream-of-the-crop Bluegrass bands. Sally Gap is honored to have them anchoring the lineup for 2010!

And congratulations to Sammy Shelor, who was inducted into the Virginia Music Hall of Fame on September 18th, 2009! For more information on Sammy’s induction, click here.
