You are visitor 
One of the finest venues for live bluegrass in the USA is a
little rundown shack out in the country somewhere near Bostic, North Carolina known as the
Green Acres Music Hall. I have seen some great live performances, from
Bruce Springsteen to Chet Atkins to Doc Watson, but none can compare
to seeing New Grass Revival at Green Acres.
I witnessed three incredible shows during the
mid to late 1980's with a few hundred other fired up bluegrass hippies 
and it is,
to this day, as close as I have come to musical nirvana. Not that I don't keep trying...
Green Acres is such a loose atmosphere and the fans are so into live music, that it just
brings out the best in the talented improvisational musicians who often play there. If you
enjoy seeing highly skilled people play in that type of setting, then Green Acres is
indeed "the place to be".

Other bluegrass artists I've seen live at Green Acres Music Hall over the years include
the Larry Keel Experience, the John Cowan Band, the Sam Bush Band, Bela Fleck
and the Flecktones, Tony Trischka, Norman Blake, Byron Berline,
Dan Crary, Acoustic Syndicate, David Grier and Matt Flinner, and the Dawg himself, David Grisman.
Unfortunately, there are no shows scheduled at this
time for the Green Acres Music Hall.
At the shows listed above, admission is
$20 (unless otherwise
noted), children are admitted free, dogs are not allowed (sorry, they've been barking up
the wrong trees), camping in the field out back is free with admission.
Several of the bands playing live at
Green Acres Music Hall have CD's for sale at Little
King Records.
So check it out!
