“We are really pleased to have the Maple Hill bluegrass band from Ottawa as our feature band this year,” said Campbell. “The Oxbow Mountain Boys from Harbourville, Nova Scotia will be our regional band and we also will have twelve Island bluegrass bands entertaining as well. It will be a jam-packed weekend of great entertainment.”
Now in its sixth year, the indoor festival continues to grow in popularity and attracts fans from across the Maritimes filling hotel rooms and restaurants in city.
The feature band, Maple Hill Bluegrass, is an award winning band that brings energy, emotion, fun and the lost art of entertainment to the show.
