PAST PERFORMANCES OVER THE YEARS
“The heart of MusicFest is not to be found on the Main Stage; the magic happens when you put a bunch of musicians together, give them a theme, and ask them to jam. I often wonder whether the musicians are enthusiastic about doing this, or whether they are either persuaded or coerced into participating. Either way, it seems that almost always have a good time when they arrive at the Grierson or the Barn, and, fairly frequently, they seem to have a transcendently wonderful time that one imagines they might remember the rest of their professional life. Certainly, sitting in the audience for these jams and musical excursions is a real privilege.”
