Our goal is to bring a musical genre, bluegrass, to town that has had little exposure in the area and introduce it to many who have not experienced it. We will pass out surveys to the audience to gauge their response to what they have seen and heard. We will look for changes in attitude towards any preconceived notions after seeing the music performed by musicians of high artistic quality.
We had a large number of attendees pass on their appreciation on the evening of the concert as well as the days after. Many had commented that it was their first time seeing a bluegrass band live and were happy we introduced them to the genre.
