GrassRoots 2018


  It used to be Thursday at GrassRoots was mostly for local bands and small crowds.  Not anymore, this year Eilen Jewell played in the Dance Tent with her daughter (her husband is her drummer).  She mentioned her first tour brought her to Trumansburg for the festival and we were glad to have her back.
  Two international bands were also playing Thursday, LADAMA, which featured four women from various South American countries, and Siri Toure from Mali.  The guy who played a banjo-like instrument in Siri came out during LADAMA's set and joined them.
