CABIN FEVER FESTIVAL

 

Friday-Sunday
March 23-25, 2012

Radisson Hotel, Duluth

Don't miss the newest of MBOTMA's festivals, the Cabin Fever Festival in Duluth. Another great indoor weekend of stage shows, workshops, draw bands, vendors, open mic, and all-day and late-night jam sessions. The Cabin Fever Festival is produced by the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association (MBOTMA) and made possible in part by RELS TITLE and PIKE LAKE DENTAL.

New This Year - Bowery Brothers Live! Friday night starts with open mic in Bowery Brothers Pub in the hotel lower level. Then on Saturday we’ll have a new dinner show at the Incline Station (across the street) with music from The Fish Heads. The weekend highlight will be the Saturday Night Headline Concert featuring Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen. Innovative, talented, passionate, and impressive are some words reviewers have used to describe Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen. Additional guests on Saturday night will include The Eelpout Stringers and The Fish Heads.

"This is the best new bluegrass band…"
--Rob Ickes (12 time IBMA Dobro Player of the Year)

“Here's an exciting bluegrass entry heavy on original tunes and crisp, clean production. Following a path that found him in the U.S. Navy's country band and teaching music lessons in Alaska, Solivan leads this ensemble with exceptional mandolin picking, engaging vocals and the strongest set of bluegrass originals I've heard in a long time. If I booked festivals, I'd put these guys onstage every afternoon.”

The Saturday afternoon stage shows will include: Northern Lights Bluegrass, Sloughgrass, Riverside Bog Stompers, PrairieGrass, Morgans Run, Phil Nusbaum & Steven Earl Howard, The Blackburns, and Alabaster Falls.
