The March, version of Joe Mullins’ fine show came off without a hitch on March 26 and 27. This well-run event was a pleasure to attend. As usual, the show had a top notch line-up. Some people just photograph well, actually, very well. Here are a few samples.

Joe Dean, Jr., of Dailey & Vincent.

Tony Mabe of the James King Band

Joe Mullins traded in his banjo for a mandolin, while he belted out a couple with James King.

Jack Hicks of Summertown Road.

There are a total of 537 photos of this event in the gallery. The are organized by band name, alphabetically. You can use the thumbnail pages to scroll to your favorites.

The new white backdrop and the colored lights presented a challenge. The lights are distracting in the shots of complete bands. The previous black backdrop was far better for capturing good stage shots. We hope you enjoy the photos. Artists who appeared my contact us from the link at the bottom of the page for access to a private gallery, and complementary web-resolution downloads.

I have copied this directly from an e-mail sent to the IBMA e-mail list. I am not sure if we will be able to attend, since it is a 4 hour drive away, and the Sunday before Christmas. However, we will make the trip if we do not have family plans for that day. I hope you will consider helping out if you can. Gerald and Dale have surely provided hours of entertainment, and many generous gifts of their time and talent over the years.

Thanks from the bluegrass community, and the sponsors of the show.
