Dead-Heads unite, as well as anybody else who loves good music, arts & crafts vendors, kids activities, and good food and drink. Bluegrass Cellular presents the 1st Annual Grateful Gathering benefitting the Son Rhea Foundation. This single day festival promises to be fun for all. Held outdoors at Wha Bahs Steakhouse, the event will feature Grateful Dead, jam, and progressive music performed by five performers/bands. Headliners will be The Pranksters from Louisville, KY who have been well-versed in Grateful Dead music for nearly 25 years. Also performing will be performers from Nashville, Cincinnati, and two from Bowling Green.

The Son Rhea Foundation provides musical equipment/instruments to South Central Kentucky schools threatened by music program budget cuts. During its’ 10-year existence it has donated over $200,000 to area schools (Warren County and all the surrounding counties). The website is www.sonrhea.com.
