Bluegrass Showcase
Blue Grass music has been around for a long time, but recently had hits again on the popular charts. The Dixie wants to showcase our area Bluegrass talent. Scheduled to appear: Malachi, Grass Fire, The Hargill Family, The Blake Brothers, and a special interpretive dance performance by the Louisiana Delta Ballet.
Large Crowd Braves the Weather to See Dixie Bluegrass Showcase
Despite cold, rainy weather, a large enthusiastic crowd was entertained by five regional bluegrass bands and the Louisiana Delta Ballet Saturday April 14 at the Dixie Center for the Arts. As “the show must go on”, the pre-show performed by Richard Zachary and Red Dirt Highway originally scheduled for Intermission Park was moved inside to the lobby and patrons enjoyed music and barbeque.
Prior to the performance a slide show of North Louisiana folklife was provided by Dr. Susan Roach, North Louisiana folklife specialist. Ruston’s own Malachi and Red Dirt Highway were joined by GrassFire from Winnsboro, The Blake Brothers from Shreveport and The Harrigill Family from the Vidalia/Ferriday area filling the Dixie with bluegrass music. The evening was completed by a performance by the Louisiana Delta Ballet to songs from “‘O Brother Where Art Thou”. The show was produced by Michele Sills and emceed by Donnie Barmore.
