Welcome!

     Welcome to the TallGrass Music Festival blog!  Here we will be sharing news, festival information, music education, pictures, and any and every other nugget of knowledge and interesting fact we decide to throw at you. 

     So first, some basic info about the festival:

     The TallGrass Music Festival (formerly known as the Skiatook Bluegrass Festival) is held in beautiful Skiatook Oklahoma, on the Skiatook Sports Complex grounds.  This is the EIGHTH annual festival, and it just keeps gettin' bigger, stronger, and better every year!  This is a family friendy event with fun for all ages.  The festival is three days of live music featuring bluegrass and other roots music.  There will be plenty of RV and tent camping (which usually always includes all day and after hours picking and jamming).  There will also be arts and crafts and food vendors featuring some wonderful merchants  (some local!)  And this year will be the second year for the great kids activities!  The first night Thursday May 31st, is gospel night, and will start at 6pm and goes until 9pm, and will feature three bands, just to get things started off.

     Day two, Friday June 1st, starts at 1pm and goes until 10pm, and features a larger number of bands.  Also, on friday evening we will be having bluegrass karaoke!  So if you think you got the chops (or just down-right KNOW you do) come show it off and sign up!

     Day three, Saturday June 2nd, starts at 9am and goes until 10pm, making for a full day of music!  Saturday is kicked off with the youth fiddle contest, featuring some wildly tanlented young'uns, which is followed up by the youth fiddle performance, both of which are definitely worth catching!  Following the kids will be the band line-up for the day, which will be announced soon.  Saturday will also feature some kids performances from local student musicians.
