Here’s an interesting post from Bluegrass Music:

Here is a gallery of photos I have been meaning to get up for three weeks now! Thanks so much to Lilly Pavlak who took these at the La Roche Bluegrass Festival in France which ran from July 28-August 1. Lily was especially proud to note that the top three bands in the European Band contest at La Roche were from the Czech Republic. 1st place went to G-Runs & Roses , 2nd to Blackjack and 3rd to Dessert. As Lilly put it… “It shows once again, that the Czech Bluegrass rules the Europe!” Well OK then. Without specifically endorsing her sentiments, here is a sampling of the many fine photos she sent from the La Roche fest.

Pandora now offers bluegrass genre
Here is a new article from:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=EBZ50rl33RG_cTgXQBJ3AQ
Pandora has launched a new wrinkle for its personalized online radio service. Listeners can now build a stream based on more than 100 “micro-genres,” including bluegrass. Pandora users have always been able to create a bluegrass stream, but based on the names of favorite artists. The system would then suggest a series of tracks which you could enjoy in turn, or skip between as you see fit. The newly-revised service allows the listener to select by musical style. Bluegrass is listed in the broader folk category, along with Old Time and Americana. You can also find the bluegrass sub in the Country style. Pandora Internet Radio is a free service, but registration is required. Check it out online .

The future of Bluegrass Europe magazine
The European Bluegrass Blog has been posting some news recently concerning the future of Bluegrass Europe magazine. It seems the board of the European Bluegrass Music Association (EBMA) has decided to continue publication of the magazine, as a stand-alone publication beginning with the April 2011 issue, BE #79. Currently, Bluegrass Europe is published bi-monthly. Printed in English, Bluegrass Europe is distributed alongside the German publication Bluegrass Bühne , and the Dutch magazine Strictly Country . All three publication are printed and bound together in one binding, and provided to members of the EBM The new arrangement will be given a trial period of one year with reevaluation and adjustments in the spring of 2012. The board is now working to set up an editorial team whose mission will be to expand the publication’s appeal to all those throughout Europe who have an interest in bluegrass music. Paolo Dettwiler, editor of Bluegrass Europe , will be retiring after thirteen years in the editorial chair, after the publication of issue #78 (February/March 2011). We are excited to see what the future holds for bluegrass music in Europe. We hope the EBMA leadership are able to successfully expand the scope and distribution of Bluegrass Europe .
