It’s that time once again for a concert in downtown Jasper, Georgia at Main Street Mania. September’s featured band is a bluegrass group called the Blue Ridge Grass. Bring your lawn chairs and your dancing shoes and plan on an evening of fun on September 10, 2011 from 6 PM to 10 PM. There will be entertainment for the kids with a jumping castle and several downtown restaurants will be open for your dining pleasure.

Blue Ridge Grass is a bluegrass band out of Blue Ridge, Georgia. The band was formed in 1981 but has gone through a few changes throughout the years. The band still has two of the founding members and has been inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame. Their taste for different kinds of music such as country, gospel, and southern rock comes through making their sound a little different than the traditional bluegrass sound.

Contact the City of Jasper at 706-692-9100 for more information on this event.
