Blue Road 

Picture
The Art Council of Mississippi County's 2015-16 Series will begin with an evening of outstanding bluegrass.  The opening act will be the “The Charles Moody String Band.”  Then the headliners “BlueRoad” from north Georgia, the heart of bluegrass country, will take over with more foot-tapping, hand clapping music.  “BlueRoad” consists of five extremely talented young men, all of whom are award winners on their particular instrument.  When they come together it is magic, and a whole lot of fun.  They return to The Ritz for an encore performance following last year’s great success.  This program offers the perfect opportunity for someone who is not already a fan of bluegrass to try it out.  We can guarantee you will enjoy all of these talented folks.  This program was Saturday, September 19, 2015, at 7:00 PM.
