Better yet, if you can only attend one day, which day would you pick?

You absolutely should come. There is huge amount of gear to look at and demo in some cases and the wealth of information from the artists and steel players is amazing. It is like being a kid in a toy store. Saturday would be my recommendation and you should attend the evening session of the players. An amazing group as always to be sure.

If you come, you will want to come back again for sure.

I asked the same thing Tony. Vice President Gene Brown told me the hotel will have shuttle service for folks flying in.

When we get closer to the show Albert usually posts the performers and their times.

Tim, It would definitely be worth your time. Not only do your hear good music but the fellowship is worth it. You will make new friends and hear some awesome playing. Some manufacturers have their own rooms and there is music going on in there. The main ballroom has the big stage where players are given 30 minute sets. It does cost to get in the ballroom but we’ll worth it. There is booths set up with merchandise for sale as well. If you can come we would love to have you.
