While Memphis is undisputedly the home of the blues, you might be surprised
to learn there are some fine fiddle and banjo players around too. They turn
out in droves for the annual bluegrass fest this weekend at the Bartlett
Performing Arts and Conference Center. The 4th Annual Pickin Picnic
Bluegrass Festival runs from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6
p.m.
Bring out your fiddle and jam, or pull up a lawn chair and enjoy the
show. Its free. Indoor concert Saturday night features Laurie Lewis and Tom
Rozum. Shows at 8 p.m. $20.
