“After an "up close" classroom demonstration about acoustic bluegrass instruments, "Tim and Cindy and the Lonesome Tradition" bluegrass band performed an hour long lyceum program for 630 students at our school, Riverside Elementary. They were terrific - wonderful performers concerned about passing on the tradition of bluegrass music and instruments! Students here are excited now about bluegrass. A parent reported that both their son and daughter begged to listen to bluegrass on their way to school the next day.

​

I can't say enough about this highly talented, very professional group and their generosity to our community!
