Some say that then kind of music a man listens to define his heart and soul, and that's true in Hoquiam City, Washington where residents celebrate and bring to life the Annual Grays Harbor Bluegrass Festival. Bluegrass is raw music guided by whatever good and values a man stands for its celebrating life and the divine, the hard labor and sweet respite that every moment brings to a working man a concept well understood in this area by its people. So, once a year bluegrass bands from local amateurs to celebrities and professionals join banjo to banjo to entertain young and old alike inside the grand Olympic Stadium.
Hoquiam's love for bluegrass music can be readily explained by its history and heritage, two very important and valuable ideas to someone from the Grays Harbor area. The community was built, lost and found again by people who worked hard for their keep and hard work it was indeed and still. Bluegrass emanated tunes that reflected people's wants and needs for the body and the soul in gritty spontaneous tunes that people find easy to connect with. So go on ahead and get a front row seat and fall in love with bluegrass.
Bluegrass music delivers a variety of emotions to the table when listened to and the audience is promised to enjoy the lively creative exchanges that characterize bluegrass music, all of this straight from the heart fiddlin and guitar play, the musicians daring each other to outdo the string of tunes his guitar or mandolin has played in quick succession as both are egged on by the audience to continue with their instrumental showdown of sorts.
Most traditional bluegrass bands use a mixture of stringed acoustic instruments that deliver continuous melodies that touch the heart and soul of those who listen in a lively sort of manner, instruments like the banjo, acoustic guitar, violin and mandolin are all played together or in sequence or support to the main musicians' efforts.
Instrumental solos are a crowd pleaser and you will get a lot of these amazing displays of pure raw talent during the Bluegrass festival. Band members try their best to outdo other bands or even their own band mates not so much so to show who is the best soloist but rather to entertain the crowd and give them a good time.
The Grays Harbor Annual Bluegrass festival shares the passion of residents in good music to the throngs of visitors that visit Hoquiam city during this yearly event. Bluegrass experts, avid fans and initiates flock together to enjoy and partake in the passion of the different bluegrass genre bands that take part in bringing life music into play. Visitors would often be moved when a particular band or two include in their set a praise song or two to right the mood for such good folk.
Aside from experiencing bluegrass with new style or others would say "Newgrass" instrumentation like the piano for instance. Bluegrass is recognizable by its vocal harmony, which features two, three, or four parts, often times heard with a cacophonous high pitch referred to in bluegrass as the "high lonesome sound", creating an interesting if not attention catching bellow of forceful vocals.
If you love good ole music and enjoy amazing company and sumptuous food go lease an RV and go to Hoquiam during the Annual Grays Harbor Bluegrass Festival and sample bluegrass music at its best!
