On Saturday, November 14th Stargazers Theatre is hosting its first bluegrass concert. Performing will be three groups that know how to do bluegrass right. Grass It Up is one of the best known Colorado bluegrass acts in the bizz. The driving force of this acoustic-based trio are David Jeffrey, Shannon Carr and Jon Bross. And while Grass It Up is most recognized as a bluegrass band, don’t be surprised if you hear a Jazz, blues or even celtic tune worked into the mix every now and then. When listing to the music of Grass It Up, one understands that these three musicians have a respect and emotional connection to music that convey to their audience. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Bruce Hayes will also be taking the stage. An accomplished musician on mandolin, guitar, steel and for a amplified foot board of his own design, Bruce’s incredible fluidity in creating rich harmonic textures and rapid-fire riffs have brought him much attention. He's jammed on stage with Joe Cocker, Arlo Guthrie, New Riders, Acoustic Syndicate, and has opened shows for David Bromberg, Jorma Kaukonen, Merle Sanders, Subdudes, Neville Bros., Dave Mathews, Sam Bush and David Lindley. The Ackermans are based here in Colorado Springs and have been performing at a number of music festivals this season throughout Colorado. Led by Aaron Ackeramn, this family of musicians has retained some of the rugged, roughhewn dynamism, and emotional impact of traditional bluegrass. From the moment they hit the stage until the moment they leave, the audience is going to be entertained! Tickets: Advance Tickets $10.00 / Day of Show Tickets $12.00 For more information go www.stargazerstheatre.com or call 719-476-2200

A unique collective of four distinct voices and musical backgrounds, Blame Sally has forged a compelling and original sound that has earned the band the well-deserved reputation as Bay Area phenomenon. The San Francisco Chronicle raved that Blame Sally’s music recall(s) the artful romanticism of Jane Siberry, the rich folk harmonies of the Indigo Girls, and the percolating soulfulness of Joy of Cooking. Poised for greater national attention, they’ve performed for audiences across the US, sharing festival stages with the likes of Los Lobos, Ani DiFranco, Richard Thompson, Roseanne Cash and Greg Brown.
