This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

No, that's not necessarily true. There is all sorts of "bluegrass" represented. Even drums are allowed. Check out Showcase Artists for a good cross section. Lot's of newgrass and jazzgrass and britgrass and tradgrass and... whatevahgrass to chose from. Greensky is playing. Hackensaw Boys, The Lil' Smokies (who are opening for RRE at the Jefferson), Missy Raines & The New Hip, Town Mountain, Hot Buttered Rum, Steep Ravine all fall somewhere outside of traditional bluegrass.

All of this plus a lot of impromptu street corner jams and late night hotel hallway jams. Raleigh knows how to block off downtown and throw a street party. Lots of food trucks, beer vendors, kid stuff, face painting and cat juggling. It is really quite the thing.

Of course it is. Except that it is on Friday and I'm not missing work to get there in time for Marty Stuart much less Peter Rowan who hits the stage at 12:15. And it is in the No Exit/No Re-Entry Red Hat Amphitheater. So whenever you go in you're in. And as the "BIG" show it is also the "BIG" priced ticket at $60 for lawns. And it will sell out. And there is no shade. And there isn't a lot of food and drink variety. Don't get me wrong I am extremely grateful for Red Hat Amphitheater being downtown just not for all all day event. A show in the evening is awesome with the shimmer wall and then downtown bars after wards.

OR

I can get downtown at 4:00 and see my choice of 20 or so different bands for free, have access to a food truck rodeo, street bars, regular bars and come & go as I please so..... I think I'll do that instead.
