North Georgia, you asked for it, you got it!

Bluegrass music will fill the halls of the old Mount Airy schoolhouse this Friday as the space plays host to the two local bluegrass bands.

The Edgar Loudermilk Band and Willie Wells and Blue Ridge Mt. Grass will perform in the second of what many hope will become a continuing concert series called “Bluegrass at the Old Schoolhouse.”

Loudermilk performed at the renovated schoolhouse in January. The event was not well publicized, and many people expressed disappointment at not having known about it. Only about fifty people attended in a hall that can accommodate up to 200.

The bands hope to pack out the place this Friday night, Feb. 16.

The concert is being billed as “more fun than recess.” Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the door on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance tickets may be purchased by calling 706-768-1503 to guarantee a seat.

Mount Airy City Hall is located at 1231 Dicks Hill Parkway in Mount Airy, Georgia.
