Sweet Tidings Gospel Jam2

Sweet Tidings

Sweet Tidings Gospel Jam presents hymns and traditional gospel music with emphasis on Americana roots gospel done jam-style. Fans describe Sweet Tidings as “happy, joyful, charming, new and fresh.” When they played in 2014, due to some technical difficulties, the band decided to come off the main stage and play on the grassy lawn to the delight of the Summergrass fans. Their show was electric, and the crowd loved them!

Kimberly Conley – fiddle, vocals; Diana Hergert – guitar, vocals; Don Hergert – banjo; Marc Nelissen – bass

Summergrass 2016 proudly welcomes The Gibson Brothers to their Summergrass debut!

The Gibson Brothers were voted 2012 & 2013 Entertainers of the Year at the IBMA World of Bluegrass, along with many, many other awards over the years. Steve Leftridge of PopMatters described them this way: “Eric and Leigh Gibson might have, pound-for-pound, the most impeccably fine-sounding traditional bluegrass band on the contemporary scene…the reason these guys can’t lose is that Eric and Leigh sing bluegrass’ tightest harmony blend, and, instrumentally the group plays with unmatched alacrity and taste.”

Wonderful bluegrass right here, folks! Don’t miss them as they take the Summergrass stage Saturday August 20th at 4 and 9p.m.!
