This year’s celebration promises to be magical with Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile, Sweet Honey in the Rock, the trio of Bob Weir, Chris Robinson and Jackie Greene, and many more. There are only a few single-day tickets left for Friday. Planet Bluegrass is located on Hwy 36 just outside of Lyons.

Three days of happenings, which included the fusion of music making and art making, adds to the spreading reputation that Lyons is becoming a center of creative expression. In addition to the three evening programs there were three free programs: Music on Canvas, which exposed young children to the music of Beethoven while they painted; Music on the River, what’s not to like about a picnic by the river to the sounds of a live string quartet playing Schubert, Haydn, and Dvorak; and Music Espresso – well, the great Johan Sebastian Bach extolled the virtue of the edgy liquid by honoring it with a cantata in its very own name, so who could blame one for continuing such a time-honored tradition?]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/sounds-of-lyons-adding-an-amazing-dimension-to-lyons/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/arts-and-entertainment-8/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/arts-and-entertainment-8/#comments Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:23:50 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=2431 Lyons -- Second Annual Rocky Mountain Old-Time Music Festival will be held on July 15 to 17 at Oskar Blues Grill and Brew, 303 Main St. in Lyons. The fest will showcase national and local old-time performers, square dances, jamming, workshops, and kids’ performances. Organized by the Fort Collins-based nonprofit, the Central Rockies Old-Time Music Association (CROMA), the old-time music is the pre-bluegrass, fiddle and banjo music that grew organically from rural traditions in Southern Appalachia and the Ozarks. This music traveled with settlers who came west, and subsequently took root in various mining camps and settlements throughout Colorado, Wyoming, and the mountain west.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/arts-and-entertainment-8/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/05/sounds-of-lyons-a-whole-new-experience-with-classical-music/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/05/sounds-of-lyons-a-whole-new-experience-with-classical-music/#comments Tue, 17 May 2011 04:56:14 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=2348 LYONS – Attention music lovers: Sounds of Lyons is bringing music to every corner of the town on June 3, 4, and 5.
