LONG BEACH PENINSULA, Wash. – March, 2010 – Seven of the top regional Blue Grass bands will warmly welcome the fresh, original and traditional sounds of Kentucky’s Junior Sisk Rambler’s Choice and the hard driving music and tight harmonies of Idaho’s Will Williams & Gravel Road to the sixth annual Long Beach Bluegrass Festival.
