Our thoughts go out to Pete Wernick
If you know Bluegrass, you know Dr Banjo. A true legend in our community, Pete Wernick has been strumming his way through the scene for many years and is one of the major players of our time. It brings us great sadness to hear of his recent visit to the hospital, but we are thrilled to hear he is well on his way to recovery. Sending all our love to Pete and Joan and those who love and appreciate his musical genius and good heart, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Pete does ask kindly that folks please refrain from calling or texting him at this time so he can get some rest and recover.
Here is the full story: Bluegrass Today - Pete Wernick

We are working on some big things to celebrate, and are looking for ANY old photos you may have from the early Rocky Mountain Bluegrass Festivals.
Please contact us if you have any photos to share: contact@coloradobluegrass.org
