 | Bluegrass, The West, and History |
 Peter Feldmann & The Very Lonesome Boys will present a program titled "Bluegrass, History, and the Old West" at Santa Barbara's Presidio Chapel on Saturday, April 7th at 8:00 PM. "Since the chapel is a recreation of an important California historic site, I felt it'd be a great idea to incorporate a little history in our show. We'll present some of our standard 'classic' bluegrass repertoire, but we'll add some interesting songs from the Wild West of the nineteenth century, as well as a little bluegrass history", notes Peter.
