In Honor of Mr. Bill Monroe

by Ronnie Reno

We’d like to invite you to one of the oldest festivals in the world, the 35^th Annual Bill Monroe Hall of Fame and Uncle Pen Days Bluegrass Festival held September 23^rd thru the 26^th in Bean Blossom, IN.

 

One of Bill Monroe’s role models was his fiddle playin’ Uncle Pendleton Vandiver, whom he paid tribute to in the hit song “Uncle Pen”. Bill created the Hall of Fame and Uncle Pen Days Festival to not only honor Uncle Pen but to pay tribute to those he felt made contributions to bluegrass music. This year they are going to induct Doc Watson into the Hall of Fame.

 

Now in its 35^th year, there’s four fun filled days of music; over 25 performing artists; music and instrument workshops; and a lot of pickin’ and jammin’.

 

Please join The Reno Tradition and yours truly for a great weekend of music from many of the greatest acts in Bluegrass today.
