The festival runs from Friday, July 29, to Sunday, July 31,

“We’re thrilled to be working with Planet Bluegrass again to
let people get an earful of this amazing festival,” said John Schaefer, KGNU’s music director. “The response from the artists is tremendous, and we’re very
excited that we’ll be able to offer highlights of the evening sets from Steve
Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers, David Grisman and Peter Rowan — just to
name a few — along with the exceptional picking that will be going on live from
the stage Saturday and Sunday morning.”
