Hello, There have been some new developments in the lineup at Ralph Stanley's 34th Annual Memorial Bluegrass Festival on May 27-28-29. First of all, Patty Loveless has confirmed that she will be there on Friday the 28th to do an acoustic set with her band and also to join Ralph onstage for "Pretty Polly" and other songs. Unfortunately, Ralph himself will have to miss Thursday night at the festival as he will be in New York City with the "Great High Mountain Tour". He will arrive at the festival on Friday and remain for the rest of the weekend. Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mountain Boys will hold forth in his absence for Thursday's show. Here is the lineup for the weekend: Thursday May 27 Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mtn. Boys The Lewis Family Jimmy Martin & The Sunny Mtn.
