Special Consensus with Greg Cahill, former IBMA President, have been at the forefront of the IBMA's "Bluegrass In The Schools" program. On Feb. 11, in the afternoon, the band will be at Oakwood Friends School to demonstrate bluegrass instruments, answer questions and entertain students and faculty in anticipation of the BITS program the HVBA hopes to present next year at their school.
In the evening, HVBA members and non-members will be treated to an unusual and intimate concert and jam at the Sugar & Spice Café. The first 50 people to buy their tickets will have their spots reserved and only 25 of those will be musicians. This is your chance to play with one of the best bands in the country. Don't miss out. Tickets are already selling.

From Jerry Oland: "I have personally known most of these fine musicians since the early 1990's, when I picked banjo with the Massachusetts band Bear Acker and Billings Gap. During that period we performed many shows with these folks, and I can attest they're all solid bluegrass veterans. Robert and Lillian Fraker for many years headed up the Bear Bridge Band from Western Massachusetts, and Dick Bowden is a wonderful bluegrass singer and instrumentalist from the State of Maine. Terry McGill you may recognize from the New Jersey based band Straight Drive, and Herb Applin is just about a bluegrass legend in New England. They know bluegrass inside and out, they've paid their dues, and they're from our neck of the woods. I'm excited they're traveling all the way to Poughkeepsie to perform for us, and I hope you come out to hear them."
