LAST YEAR's show by Alison Krauss and Union Station at the Fredericksburg Fairgrounds was so successful that the folks at Haymaker Productions decided to make it an annual tradition.
This year's Fredericksburg Summerfest will feature prominent bluegrass acts Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, and the Sam Bush Band, along with up-and-comers Mountain Heart and Fredericksburg's own Mark Newton Band. It will take place Saturday at the fairgrounds.
Proceeds will benefit the Dreamfield Foundation, which raises money for the George Beals Leadership Foundation and the Dr. Jocelyn Leighty Rodgers Scholarship.
Skaggs, hailed by some as the savior of country music, got his start in bluegrass at age 15, when he backed Ralph Stanley. He moved on to play with Tony Rice, J.D. Crowe and the New South and The Country Gentlemen.
