Music Programming: We've teamed up with our friends at The Bluegrass Situation to program three days of folk, bluegrass and Americana on the new Americana Music Stage. The Bluegrass Situation (or BGS, as it’s come to be known) is the world’s largest community for American roots music, culture, and lifestyle. Co-founded by lifelong music fan Ed Helms (The Office; The Hangover) and Executive Director Amy Reitnouer Jacobs in 2012, BGS proudly represents a unique gathering place: Supporting and uplifting the rich, diverse, and varied history of the music (as well as the artists and fans who keep them alive), while looking ahead with a progressive vision to transform these folkways and traditions into a carefully curated, 21st century lifestyle open to all.
