The second Hot Strings — Birmingham’s Blazin’ Bluegrass Festival will be Oct. 9 at The Preserve’s Village Green in Hoover. State Farm Insurance is sponsoring the event to benefit the programs and services of The Foundry Rescue Mission and Recovery Center, an interdenominational organization in the Bessemer area that reaches out to more than 300 men and women battling drug, alcohol and other addictions.
Blue Highway will headline the event, but many other groups will perform such as two-time Grammy nominee Claire Lynch, The Newgrass Troubadours, Cottonmouth Creek, Judge Talford Band and The Herb Trottman Band.
Gates will open at 11 a.m., and the bands will perform from noon to 8 p.m.
Besides bluegrass music, the family friendly event will feature food from Golden Rule BBQ, a kids’ area with inflatables and a fiddlin’ contest and jam session.
