Sam Bush Kicks Off 2008 Festival on September 12!
Posted: April 16, 2008

The Pawleys Island Festival of Music & Art is pleased to announce that Sam Bush, one of the foremost innovators in modern acoustic music, will be performing live on Friday evening, September 12, 2008. Hailed as the “King of Newgrass” by fans and media alike, Bush played an integral role in changing the face of bluegrass music as a founding member of New Grass Revival. He has continued to forge new ground in his solo career, recording five studio albums (four for Sugar Hill) as well as Ice Caps: Live From Telluride. The fact that Ice Caps is Bush’s biggest seller speaks volumes to the power of his live performance. Bush has a knack for working festival crowds into a frenzy making him a commodity the most prestigious events can’t live without. Don't miss it!

Barrage Takes Pawleys Island By Storm!
Posted: February 10, 2008

If you missed it in 2007, you will definitely want to put September 13, 2008 on your calendar now. Barrage - described appropriately as a high-octane fiddle fest - had the audience on its feet and demanding more and more! The young international group delighted the Pawleys Island audience with blues-like rhythms all the way to foot-stomping sing-alongs. BUT, don't be mistaken. This is not a bluegrass or country group. It is an eclectic mix of music, accented by the energy of youth and TONS of talent.
