The Chuck Wagon Gang

The Brumleys are returning to NW Arkansas on May 14 and 15, 2010.  The 1st Annual Brumley MusicFest concert will be held at Bentonville, AR High School and will include many of the top southern gospel and bluegrass music acts from around the country.  Acts currently scheduled to appear are The Chuck Wagon Gang, Brian Free and Assurance, Karen Peck and New River, The Grascals, The Dove Brothers Quartet, The Diplomats, and Little Roy and Lizzie.  Mark Bishop and Aaron Wilburn will emcee and perform on both nights.  Please note that The Chuck Wagon Gang will only appear on Saturday, May 15th.

Doug and Shelley McMillion have been named honorary chairpersons for the May inaugural event.  They are excited to be part of this event and help support their neighbors and businesses in the community that they have been a part of for 18 years.  The McMillions are looking forward to working with the third-generation of Brumleys who are continuing the 67-year-old family music business atarted by the later Albert E. Brumley.  Mr. Brumley authored over 800 songs, including "I'l Fly Away" (his most popular song, recorded in every country and every language on the planet, and by every genre of music), "Turn Your Radio On", and "Jesus Hold My Hand".  His songs have been standards on Chuck Wagon Gang recordings and appearances for over 73 years.

All profits from ticket sales will be given to local charities including Decision Point, a drug and alcohol treatment center in NW Arkansas.  Sold out audiences are expected for both nights with already brisk ticket sales.  Area hotels and motels are offering discounted rates for out-of-town fans.  Tickets are on sale now:  $60 reserved floor seating for both nights, $35 general admission bleacher seating for both nights, and $20 for single-night general admission bleacher seating.
