It's amazing that once again summer has passed in a flash. But for those seeking Celtic music, there is no cause for despair. Fall will lead the way to winter with some wonderful music. No matter what your musical preference, make sure to mark September 20-22 on your calendar for the First Annual Blue Sky Jamfest. The lineup of national and local artists is amazing! Local Celtic groups The Rashers and Tenrec will be among those performing. To get a complete lineup of performers and ticket info, go to www.blueskykentucky.com.
