“It’s a large event and has grown over the years, and when the weather cooperates we get upwards of 2,000 visitors,” said Chad Day, owner and general manager of Roxy Ann Winery. “There’s a large stage on the west end of the winery building and people come out and there’s beer offerings and offerings of wine as well.”

Other alcoholic beverages will be on tap with plenty of local craft beer, ciders and wines. To complement the drinks, Brews, Bluegrass & BBQ will have multiple food vendors and food trucks in attendance offering sustenance such as burgers and, of course, barbecue.

“We now have six beers on tap and we’re really focusing on this space as a community gathering center; we love to have the food carts as well,” Day said.

Organizers ensured that the event’s food choices will include options for dietary preferences such as vegetarian and gluten-free options. Non-alcoholic drinks will also be available. 

Beyond the music, meals and beverages, the event will host craft vendors and kids activities to keep the whole family entertained.

Then event will have a wide range of bluegrass bands to get the boots stomping and the hips shaking.

“There’s a lot of bluegrass bands coming in throughout the day; it should be pretty fun,” Day said.

On the music side, Mountaintop Sound will open the show from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Mountaintop Sound plays a blend of folk, Americana and bluegrass, offering singer-songwriter favorites and a relaxed vibe of songs and jams.

Following them will be The Rosa Lees, performing closely blended harmonies, potent lyricism and hard-charging rhythms with influence from female bluegrass pioneers Hazel Dickens, Alice Gerrard, Rose Maddox and more.

The Rosa Lees will play from 4 to 5 p.m., with the “Dance Your Grass Off” competition coming next.

Following the dance contest, The John Dough Boys will bring their rowdy, boot-stomping mix of bluegrass and punk rock to listeners from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Closing Brews, Bluegrass & BBQ’s live music acts will be Chasing Keridwyn from 7 to 8 p.m.

Chasing Keridwyn’s soaring harmonies and sophisticated solos mix bluegrass with other genres, closing out the event in style.
