In 1984, The Special Con- sensus initiated the Traditional American Music (TAM) Program in schools across the country and began appearing on cable television and National Public Radio shows. The band includes Rick Faris, David Thomas and Dustin Benson. Well-loved at the Temecula Festival, Bluegrass Etc. with Dennis Caplinger re-

Known as the best free festival on the west coast by bluegrass fans, this year's
Festival features 11 scheduled bands and dozens of impromptu performances throughout the six block town. Also performing during the two day event is Scott Gates and Salty Suites. Gates
performed first at the Festival in 2008 with this teen band "Pacific Ocean Bluegrass." Having performed with John McEuen, Nathan McEuen, Steve Martin and the Nitty
Gritty Dirt band, Gates is now a seasoned performer who has appeared with Steve Martin on the Ellen Show, and recorded with Kenny Loggins on the family album which was picked up by Disney. The Festival lineup includes local favorites Silverado Bluegrass, Irish/Bluegrass
Sligo Rags and The Wimberly's a family band often seen busking during the festival. Tail Draggers, Sweet Tidings, Next Generation, Old Haywire and Bluegrass Brethren fill out the remainder of the lineup. Concerts are free Saturday, March 16, and Sunday, March 17 from 11 a.m. to 6
p.m. on two stages. A unique concert featuring The Special Consensus, Bluegrass Etc and Silverado is at 7 pm., Saturday indoors on the Old Town Temecula Commu- nity Theater stage. Tickets are $15 and $20, and available at
www.temeculatheater.org. The evening concert usually sells out. "Pickers" (Bluegrassers’ term for musicians) jam anywhere along the walkways
of Old Town Temecula. It is of the most unique aspects of the event as musicians of varying skills just strike up a band and begin playing familiar reels. Free workshops during the weekend are held in the Mercantile and help instigate
the free flow of jamming around town. Band members lead the workshops and pro- vide the audience a chance to pick and play with their favorites. Public parking is free. RV parking is available in town for $30 for the weekend.
