Past: Bootheel Bluegrass Festival

Bavarian Halle by Drury Inn

Once again, the popular 3 day bluegrass festival will be returning to the Bavarian Halle by Drury Inn in Fruitland. This year's line up is another great one and folks have learned that this is a great event to put on the calendar each year for the last weekend in January. This year's dates will be Jan 25, 26, 27 with Thursday the 25th being the Gospel Evening. Show begins at 7 p.m. with local favorites, The Gipsons, and The Lewis's starting out the evening. This year the award winning band, The Lindsey's' from Kentucky were scheduled to perform as well when just last week they received the horrific news of their 11 year old son having brain cancer. They have cancelled but 2 other bands have stepped up to fill in for them, donating their proceeds to the Lindsey Family. The Harper's from Bunker, Missouri, will be performing on Thursday night in their place and The Sowell Family from Texas will step in on Friday. Vendors will be on site as usual, and Country Mart will offer meals on Friday and Saturday evenings for a minimal charge. Friday's show kicks off at 2 p.m. and goes till 10 p.m. with performances by Little Creek, Kenny Stinson & Perfect Tymin, The Lewis's, The Sowell Family, The Gipsons, and The Bakers. Saturdays show starts at noon with a special presentation of Pioneer Awards by the Missouri Bluegrass Preservation Association.
