This past week, we finally did something we have been wanting to do for a long time: attend a Bluegrass Hoedown at our local Farmer's Market!

A city boy at heart, events like this were so foreign to me when I first moved South. Now...I cherish them. More on the blog.

Yummy SOOC lens flair:


I used nothing but TRA 1&2 to process the rest:

nice work...that second shot is killer! hard to beat fresh food and live banjo...looks like a good time.

Thanks dude. Good times indeed!

loooooooove that second shot.

Awesome shots!
You gotta love the South man!!

My family and I have a Bluegrass band, (I play Mandolin and sing lead) we play things like that every now and then. If you like Bluegrass and love the festivals, check out Shindig on the green.
It happens every year in Asheville NC... Awesome stuff! Allison Krauss actually showed up a few years ago!
We try to make it at least once a year, but we've never played :-(

Maybe one day...

Bluegrass and 4-part harmony. Sometimes so bad it's good.

Amen there!
But then you have to ask yourself... If it's bad... Would it still be called "harmony"?

Hey Matt great post. Just an fyi you need to edit your html on your blog your photos are getting clipped off on the right side.

Hey Tim...PM en-route.

Thanks for the awesome comments guys! As they say...Country Rocks...

...but Bluegrass RUUUUUUUULZ.

Great...now I'm gonna get all the hate mail from my NY bretheren.

I hate to break it to you.... but Virginia is in the North You're still a Yankee


Nice shots of you guys pretending to be all southern though

Haha. It all depends on where in Virginia you are talking about. I love when people from Tampa area say they are from the south. Soo funny. They have no idea what "the south" is really like.

Born and raised a Yankee, I keep telling my mother in-law that!! But don't dare call anyone around here a Yankee if they were raised here!!

Whew...I finally had a reason to use this graphic!

Most of Florida is in the North.

Agreed.

Most of Florida are New Yorkers and Jersey transplants that wanted to move out to the country.

I love the second one...wow! And my hometown in Virginia (1 hour from the TN border and 15 min from the KY border) is about as Southern as it gets y'all!

lol- I was thinking the same thing.

Nice work Matt
