You can’t go wrong with downtown Asheville on a Saturday night. Tonight I took some photos of Shindig on the Green in Pack Square Park. It was packed with people for this folk festival, which is celebrating it’s 44th season. Live bluegrass music, dancing, food and fun: everything you need for a great festival! This was the second shindig of 2010, with six more to go.
Just a note to say I love the picure of Glenn, the MC. He’s my dad and I live in England and haven’t made it home during the summer months in several years now. I miss Shindig a lot and really enjoyed looking through your photo’s – they are a nice portrayal of this unique event and really capture the spirit of it all. Thanks!
Thanks, LA. He was fun to photograph because of his excitement about the whole thing. That photo was taken while he was dictating the dance steps to the dancing crowd up front. I appreciate your comment!
FYI – folks in the second picture are playing Old Time Music, not bluegrass. Thanks for taking such wonderful pictures – you really capture the positive collective energy of the music making, singing and dancing!
