Bluegrass fans have the unique pleasure of heading to the shores of Mexico this weekend, for the annual Strings & Sol destination event. The festival opened up last night, December 9th, with a welcome toast entreating fans and musicians alike for a weekend of celebration. The first night then saw performances from Yonder Mountain String Band, Leftover Salmon, and Larry Keel & Friends, with eloquent performances accompanied by a tropical paradise.
