A Freshgrass Kind Of Sunday
I was lucky enough to attend both full days (there is a small line-up on Friday evening which I was unable to attend) of the Freshgrass Festival in the Berkshires. Saturday was a long but fabulous day, and Sunday was no less than that.
Martha Redbone and Abigail Washburn back stage – I love their smiles!!!
In fact, I was more excited about Sunday’s line-up. (Click here for my review of Saturday.)
