The Third Annual Fall Harvest Festival at Gold Hill Mesa will frature food vendors, Blurgrass entertainment by the Red Mountain Boys and activities for children. There will be pony rides, a petting zoo, glitter tattoos and a pumpkin patch. ($10 wristband) The Red Mountain Boys are a hot new bluegrass supergroup lighting up the Pikes Peak region. A longtime staple of the scene, Alan Begley (Willie Bean Bluegrass) fronts the Boys with his Martin flat-top guitar. Lewis Mock (Kansas State Hall-of-Fame musician, Radford & Lewis Band) brings the fire with his five-string banjo. Jon Murphy (Grandpa’s Cough Medicine, The Grass is Dead) keeps the Boys rock solid with his metronome-like bass playing. Jeff Daugherty (2014 John Hartford Songwriting Award winner) plays his mandolin like a man possessed. Take their instrumental prowess, add in four-part vocal harmonies and world-class songwriting and LOOK OUT – it’s a recipe for powerful, hard-driving bluegrass music.
This FREE Family Friendly event is a great way to spend a summer day. There will be food trucks and for those 21+ beer and wine available. Don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket!
