Coming in 2010 - Kenny & Amanda Smith Band

[Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival]

We're in the final stages of finalizing the lineup for the 2010 edition of the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival (our 39th year!), and are on track to announce the full lineup on or about December 1, as has been our custom the last few years. Over the next few weeks, though, we plan to let you folks on our mailing list know about some of the acts we have confirmed bookings for, beginning with the Kenny and Amanda Smith Band on Friday, September 3.

Since winning the IBMA Emerging Artist award in 2003, guitarist Kenny Smith (formerly of the Lonesome River Band) and his wife Amanda (lead singer for the band, who credits Alison Krauss as a major influence on her career and singing) have become known not only for excellence in traditional bluegrass, but for sterling gospel material as well, and this will mark their first appearance at Delaware Valley (though Kenny appeared as part of Lonesome River on two occasions).

Find out more about the band at www.kenny-amandasmith.com.

Kenny and Amand join the performers we previously announced on this list on September 10:

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
Riders In The Sky
Cherryholmes
Seldom Scene
Chris Jones & The Night Drivers

The 2010 Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival will take place Labor Day Weekend (Friday, September 3 - Saturday, September 6) at our longtime venue, the Salem County Fair Grounds on US 40 west of Woodstown, New Jersey. It has been sponsored annually since 1972 by the non-profit Brandywine Friends of Old Time Music. For more info, write to in...@delawarevalleybluegrass.org
