The stars of bluegrass were out in full force as the new Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Museum started its grand opening weekend. Hall of Famers like Doyle Lawson mixed and mingled with the stars of today.

The 15 million dollar facility stunned and shocked the bluegrass community as many came “home” for the first time in years.

Bluegrass grew too big for Owensboro during the 1990’s, the big bluegrass festival had to move along with the IBMA headquarters, but the roots of bluegrass music were firmly planted in Western Kentucky.

What would a Bluegrass Hall of Fame opening be without a little bit of the music that makes it tick? The hall of fame introduced 5 posthumous members but the bluegrass legends took up the mantle, playing many of their songs.
