SUMMARY:DR. ENUF presents APPALACHIAN TRAIL
DESCRIPTION:DR. ENUF presents APPALACHIAN TRAIL. A band called Fiddling’ Red was scheduled to play this week but unfortunately had to cancel due to circumstances beyond their control. How fortunate we are at the Boones Creek Opry – that APPALACHIAN TRAIL stepped forward to fill the date on very short notice. This band is very well known regionally and is an absolute favorite. Many of us believe that they set the gold standard in bluegrass. Don’t miss this show 6:00 Saturday\, May. 2 at 632 Hales Chapel Rd\, Gray\, TN. Open Mic follows the show. Admission is 8 bucks.
