The Tim Shelton Syndicate has ties to southwestern Pennsylvania and is one of several new acts that will be featured at the 2024 NEPA Bluegrass Festival from May 30 to June 2 at Lazy Brook Park in Tunkhannock. Early bird tickets are on sale now at NepaBluegrass.com.
The 17th annual NEPA Bluegrass Festival will be held Friday to Sunday, May 30 to June 2 at Lazy Brook Park in Tunkhannock, Wyoming County. Headliners include familiar names like The Kody Norris Show, U.S. Navy Band Country Current, Mason Porter, and Little Roy & Lizzy. New to the Traditional Stage this year will be Becky Buller, Tim Shelton Syndicate, and the Price Sisters.
Lazy Brook Park is a favored venue among both the musicians and their fans due to its relative flatness, paved streets, shade trees, flowering shrubs, art installations, and a restored, historic pedestrian bridge that connects the main park where the Traditional Stage is located to creek side of the park where the Progressive Stage is situated. Camping is free with the purchase of a weekend pass.
“It’s perfect for camping,” said Christa Stewart, who created NEPA Bluegrass with her musician husband Danny Stewart and personally welcomes new and returning guests back to the park at the entrance tent each year. “Danny and I look forward to seeing the music fans, who have truly become our second family, as much as we do bringing them a world-class festival experience in such a serene setting.”
In addition to nearly non-stop music, guests can enjoy a wide variety of food, participate in music workshops, and shop from numerous vendors.
Tickets are $90 per person through January 31, after which the price increases to $100 each if purchased by April 15. Weekend passes at the gate are $120 per person. Day passes are also available for each of the three days of the festival but do not include camping. Interested readers can purchase tickets online at NepaBluegrass.com.
