Since we loved them so much last year, on Saturday May 24th the A1A Band is back on the Elk Creek Vineyards outdoor stage!  If you didn’t get to see them last year, now is your chance to make up for missing out on one of the hottest and most entertaining shows we’ve had.  The A1A Band was dubbed “The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show” in 1992 by the folks at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Records.  Wow, you can’t beat that!

Of course you can’t have a Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show without a little “Cheeseburger in Paradise” Carribean dinner to go along with it.  The A1A Band jamming, cheeseburgers grilling, Fins to the left, Fins to the right – what more could you ask for?  And at our Outdoor Amphitheater, there is no such thing as a “bad” seat.  Whether you’re relaxing on our winery deck, situated under one of our rental tents or just stretched out on blankets you’ll have the best seat in the house! And don’t forget there will be plenty of Kentucky wine available too.

 See you in Margaritaville!

Why does the date Saturday, May 31st ring a bell?  Because that is the day everyone who is lucky – and smart enough – to be at Elk Creek Vineyards will be enjoying the biggest and best Blues Festival this side of the Mississippi Delta.  The 2008 Elk Creek Vineyards Blues Festival will feature the unbelievable five-time Grammy award winner Buddy Guy along with one of the “hottest blues bands ever heard” Roomful of Blues and the amazing Sonny Moorman Group. 

Ok, so let’s take a moment and say that maybe “blues” isn’t really your thing?  Then that’s the perfect reason for you to head to Elk Creek and give this Festival a try.  Believe me when I tell you that by the time this Festival is over, you will not be able to get to your Ipod fast enough to start downloading the Blues!

Buddy Guy –  ”The best guitar player alive,” Eric Clapton;  “Without Buddy Guy there would be no Stevie Ray Vaughan” Stevie Ray Vaughan; “Heaven is lying at Buddy Guy’s feet while listening to him play guitar” Jimi Hendrix.    Need I say more?

Roomful of Blues – Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&B and soul remains their calling card as does their ability to fill the dance floor.  “This is a band on top of its game, sliding easily from big band jazz-blues to guitar drenched urban-blues…let the party begin”, Chicago Sun Times

Sonny Moorman Group – “Pounding, high-volume blues/rock that opens the throttle”, Living Blues Magazine.  They recently won the 2006 Cincinnati Entertainment Award for Blues.  This is one band that you don’t want to miss!

So what are you waiting for?  Grab some friends and head on down to the Elk Creek Vineyards 2008 Blues Festival on May 31st!  Amazing music, great food and good friends – what more could you ask for?…Oh yea, wine – lots of Kentucky wine!
