The boys will be at their Bluegrass pickin' One-Mic best for their third appearance at the Kelly Country Pick in Beechworth, Aug 20-22.
High & Lonesome will perform a mix of old favourites and new material on Saturday at 3.00 pm at the Bridge Road Brewery and 9.00 pm at The Hibernian.
The Kelly Country Pick is a winter Bluegrass and Old Time Country Music Convention based in the historic town of Beechworth. It began in 1999 as an annual get together between a few pickers and families from Victoria and NSW for a relaxed music weekend. It now attracts some 300-500 musicians and patrons and is growing steadily.
The convention is based in the historic ‘Old Priory’ – a 19th century catholic convent converted into a modern accommodation facility. Evening concerts also take place in the local hotels.
The Kelly Country Pick focuses on ‘picking’, sharing music, and teaching technical skills, and provides a great opportunity to see some of Australia’s foremost bluegrass musicians both in concert and in informal ‘sessions’.
Instrument workshops over the weekend include fiddle, mandolin, double bass, guitar, dobro and banjo. No matter what your level of musicianship – there is something for everyone. But if you just want to watch and listen – that is fine too! You are sure to see and hear something special!!
The Kelly Country Pick is a non-profit event and is run on a volunteer basis. New volunteers interested in helping out in 2010 are most welcome.
