The Fayette

County High School Select Chorus is heading to New York City in a few

weeks and three bluegrass bands are helping them raise some money in support

of their choir tour.

Saturday night,

Jan. 27, Lost Horizons, SteelBlue and Wild Blue Yonder will perform at

Sams Auditorium for the Second Annual Fayetteville Bluegrass Blast.

Wild Blue Yonder

is a group of six seasoned musicians who cover a road range of musical

stykes and material. The band has a very eclectic background and are just

as likely to play a Stanley Brothers song as a few Bob Dylan tunes. One

member of the band is Fayetteville resident Tony Bolin.

SteelBlue performed

in last year's Bluegrass Blast and is back by popular demand. The band

infuses traditional bluegrass music with progressive bluegrass, jazz and

swing. They have performed at the Alliance Theatre as the opening act

for "Cotton Patch Gospel" as well as at the Governor's Mansion.

Lost Horizons

has been on the scene for the last four years, entertaining audiences

as such venues as the Red Light Cafe in Atlanta. They are made up of four

award winning musicians and are known for their traditional bluegrass

music.

"Last

year's audience responed enthusiastically and we're planning another great

show this year," said producer Jack Masters.

The show will

begin at 7 p.m. All tickets are $8 and are available at the door or by

contacting a member of the Fayette County High School Select Chorus. For

information, phone Jack Masters at 770-961-5974.
