Monroe Crossing Concert at Festival Theatre

PictureMonroe Crossing: Minnesota's Premier Bluegrass & Gospel Quintet at Festival Theatre Friday, Nov 6th.
Bluegrass fans take note – Monroe Crossing is returning to the Festival Theatre stage for a high-energy, heart-stirring concert on Friday, November 6, beginning at 7:30 pm.  “Monroe Crossing has become one of our favorite staples in Festival’s music line up” says Peter Weber, Technical Director at Festival Theatre.

Named in honor of Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass Music,” Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt originals. Their airtight harmonies, razor sharp arrangements, and on-stage rapport make them audience favorites here and across the United States and Canada.

Based in Minnesota, the group plays an average of 125 shows a year at major venues and festivals, frequently for non-bluegrass audiences — and people often comment that they’d never really liked bluegrass music until they attended a Monroe Crossing concert!
​

Among their many honors, Monroe Crossing was selected to showcase at the 2007 International Bluegrass Music Association Convention and they were inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2007. The only bluegrass band ever nominated as “Artist of the Year” by the Minnesota Music Academy (MMA), Monroe Crossing won the 2003 MMA “Bluegrass Album of the Year” award. The group also took home four awards — for Female Vocalist, Guitar, Mandolin and Banjo — at the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association’s 25th Anniversary Awards Banquet.
