If the triple digit temperatures weren’t a dead giveaway, the 48s’ schedule this week clinches it: festival season has arrived.

This Thursday and Friday, Eric will be teaching a bluegrass fiddle workshop up at the International Music Camp in Peace Gardens, on the North Dakota/Manitoba border. For more info, visit http://www.internationalmusiccamp.com/.

On Saturday, we’ll be playing our first outdoor bluegrass festival of the year: the Northwoods Bluegrass Festival. We’ll be joined by our good friends Art Stevenson and Highwater and the Wildwood Valley Boys, among many other great bands. Set times: 2pm and 7pm. Can’t wait!

Okay, gotta run!
