First ever Evergreen Bluegrass Fest is a legacy of community volunteer

The Evergreen community will get a new bluegrass festival this August that organizers hope will become an annual draw, similar to other bluegrass festivals in the area.

But unlike the others, this one is closely tied to a late member of the Evergreen community.

"(Tom) would say, 'This is my dream, this is my little baby. I would love to have a bluegrass festival in Evergreen,' " said Dana Price of her friend and fellow community member, Tom Hushen, who died Oct. 2.

The festival is focused on local music, featuring the Boulder-based Railsplitters, Denver-area mainstay Oakhurst, Ragged Union, Quick Draw Homegrown Music from Indian Hills and Blue Moon Bluegrass of Evergreen. Also in the lineup are the Blue Canyon Boys, who won the band contest at the 2008 Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Price said the short-term goal is to make the event as fun and successful as possible this year, with the long-term goal of making it an annual event that "puts Evergreen on the map one more time for something very special."
