Snap Jackson & The Knock On Wood Players will head for Gilroy the second weekend of October for the 6th Annual Jake’s Brown Barn Bluegrass Festival, sponsored by the Northern California Bluegrass Society and The Music Medics.
Artist: Laynie Johnson, KOWP Fan, Age 7
The Stockton-based KOWP band has quickly become an alt-bluegrass phenomenon in Northern California, with a strong appeal for both traditional and progressive bluegrass fans. This will be the band’s third appearance at Brown Barn.
The festival has a nice new home at the Historic Franklin Ranch in Gilroy, only three miles south of the original location. The October 7-9, 2011 dates are one month later than in past years.
