The grass is always blue at Wrench Wranch Bluegrass Roundup
COVENTRY – For more than 30 years, the Bluegrass Roundup at the Wrench Wranch in Coventryville has played host to hundreds of old-time Bluegrass acts from all over the country, picking their way across the U.S. Bluegrass circuit.
This Labor Day weekend, the tradition continues at the 32 annual Bluegrass Roundup beginning Friday evening and running through Sunday at the family-operated rustic venue and campground located just off State Highway 206 east of Greene, six miles west of Bainbridge.
“We’re trying to promote and maintain Bluegrass which has seen it’s share of highs and lows over the past 40 years,” said Gene Clayton, an organizer of the event.
The roundup will offer more than a dozen acts over the three days, and “field picking” – an off the cuff jam session of sorts – is not an uncommon occurrence. Families looking for a way to ride out the last official summer holiday in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere are invited to “rough it” for the weekend at the Wrench Wranch campsites. Plenty of free parking is available as well as handicapped accessible restrooms, showers and a dumping station on premises.
Reasonably priced fare such as a community spaghetti dinner on Friday evening, and a chicken barbecue on Sunday sweetens the deal for those not wanting to pack a cooler.
The roundup will kick off on Friday night with two country bands: Ben Rounds and Doc Weismore and Real Country. Saturday, a heaping plate of Bluegrass the likes of Mail Pouch Express, Cedar Ridge, Spare Parts, Smokey Greene and Slewfoot (among others) will play all day, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Since the early 1980’s, the roundup has been held at the Wrench Wranch, starting out as an annual impromptu family gathering; family with a devout love of the Bluegrass, that is.
While Memorial Day weekend events can be competitive, a die-hard group of the unique all-american music genre show up every year, according to Clayton. “Sure, there are activities going on all over the place – but these musicians chose to be here with us, for the love of the Music,” said Clayton.
Clayton indicated that attendance for the event hovers from around 500-1000 year-to-year.
Additionally, a snack shack will be open offering a variety of good food at reasonable prices, and 50-50 raffles will be held throughout the entirety of the weekend.
Weekend admission tickets are $35 each, which includes free rough camping (tent plot with use of facilities) with purchase. Day tickets are also available at a rate of $5 for Friday, $20 for Saturday and $15 for Sunday, children under 12 admitted free with responsible adult.
