Annual Glenville State Bluegrass Concert Date Announced

The annual Glenville State College Bluegrass Concert will be held on Saturday, October 27 at 7:00 p.m. in the GSC Fine Arts Center Auditorium, which is located on GSC’s main campus at 200 High Street in Glenville, West Virginia. The concert will feature The Grascals and the GSC Bluegrass Band.

The Grascals make music that is entirely relevant to the here and now, yet immersed in traditional values of soul and musicianship. It’s a unique sound that has earned two Entertainer of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association and three Grammy® nominations. They have appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fox & Friends, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and CBS’ The Talk along with over 150 performances at the Grand Ole Opry.

Their self-titled debut album featured guest vocals from Dolly Parton on their cover of Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas.”

General admission to the concert is $15 and free for children five and under. Tickets include admission to a late night after party at the Pioneer Stage at 10 East Main Street in downtown Glenville.
