Druha Trava's Potluck Picnic Party at "Dancing Oak Ranch"

Join us for our last of the season outdoor show at Dancing Oak Ranch on Thursday Sept 30th at 7:00PM with an amazing acoustic world band from Czechoslovakia “Druha Trava”.

TICKET Costs: $18 in advance. $20 at the gate

This show will be preceded by another big family potluck starting at 5:00PM so bring a food dish or dessert to share, low deck chair, blanket and jackets (because it is going to get pretty cool around 9:00PM) and enjoy a picnic with friends and the boys in the band.

Druha Trava is a wonderfully eclectic band from the Czech and Slovak Republics that is hard to describe. They perform new acoustic world music with bluegrass influences. You might hear them perform a bluegrass tune, a Bob Dylan tune or one by another American or British artist, along with their many originals. Though they basically use a typical bluegrass complement of instruments, you might see the banjo player also pick up a clarinet or Irish whistle. This along with the versatility of the dobro player helps create much of their unique sound.

The Bluegrass Association of the Czech Republic declared Druha Trava "Group of the Year" in both 2005 and 2006.

Singer and writer Robert Krestan has been recognized with numerous honors in his home country in both bluegrass and country music. He has been "Male Vocalist of the Year" at the Banjo Jamboree Festival numerous times and has been awarded "Country Artist of the Year" by the Czech Music Academy.

Lubos Malina was named overall "Best Banjo Player" at the 20 plus year old Banjo Jamboree Festival. Lubos Novotny plays dobro. (The Dobro was actually invented by a Slovak family), Tomas Liska is amazing on acoustic double bass while Emil Formanek, from the Slovak Republic, plays mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar.
