The Lewis Family Festival Feels Like Home Posted: May 6th, 2008 at 10:00 am | By: Dailey & Vincent This weekend we got on the bus and got to perform at a very popular festival. I grew up listening to The Lewis Family but had never performed at their festival, and it's been going on for more than 20 years! The festival is held in Lincolnton, Ga., on the South Carolina/Georgia border. As I drove in past a road called The Lewis Family Road, I knew we were close. We drove up to the festival grounds and saw Little Roy, Jesse McReynolds, Jimmy Buchanan and countless other musicians we knew. It was home away from home! On my way to the stage I saw The Chuck Wagon Gang's bus, and it hit me that I had never seen this legendary group perform. What a treat! We also saw a new group called Gold Heart. What a wonderful performance they had -- something old, something new, all of it great. Jamie and I did our show, and we got to encore with beads of sweat streaming down our faces. We gave it all we had! During the second show, Little Roy Lewis, who's known for dressing up and interrupting bands, came out and put a wig on Jamie and me, then danced with Jeff Parker and Joe Dean while Adam Haynes played an old fiddle tune. I laughed till I cried, and the audience went crazy over Roy. That was my personal highlight from The Lewis Family Festival.We're also really excited that our friend, Jimmy Fortune, was honored by the Tennessee State Senate with Senate Joint Resolution 1005, which recognizes him as a citizen of Tennessee who has made incredible, lasting contributions to the world of music. We couldn't agree more. Congratulations Jimmy!- Darrin Vincent
SONG WRITING CONTEST SENDS JOCELYN TO MERLE FEST IN NORTH CAROLINA Fifteen year old Jocelyn Gold has been writing beautiful songs since she was 13. "Hear My Cry" is one of the songs she entered into the Chris Austin Song Writing Contest. The annual contest is open to songwriters worldwide. Young Jocelyn was one of 12 finalists out of 983 hopeful entrants. The contest is split up in to 4 categories: General; Gospel; Bluegrass; & Country. Each category has just 3 finalists. Jocelyn's song "Hear My Cry" was chosen for the Bluegrass category. On April 25, 2008, the 12 finalists gathered at Merle Fest in Wilkesboro, North Carolina to perform their winning song."Hear My Cry....hear my plea....you angels watching over me"........rang beautifully throughout the hills of North Carolina. Jocelyn cradled her Martin guitar and sang from the depths of her heart. It was powerful and moving and the crowds let her know it. This was Jocelyn's only time entering the contest so placing 3rd in the bluegrass category was a true honor especially considering the majority of finalists have been writing for 15+ years. Jocelyn says she has lost count of how many songs she has actually penned but estimates around 30 or so. It's no doubt that Jocelyn's voice & musical talent will continue to echo among us. Jocelyn's sisters are following in her footsteps and have penned a few songs themselves. The sisters contribute their songs mainly to their own band called "Gold Heart" which is an amazing young band on the rise & is being taken very seriously. They are currently recording their 2nd project in Nashville. Gold Heart is scheduled for the PBS television program called 'Song of the Mountains" and will perform live at the Lincoln Theater in Marion, VA. on June 14, 2008. Gold Heart has opened concerts and shared the stage with many top bands that include Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, The Dailey & Vincent Band & most recently The Isaac's. Gold Heart will be performing at "Artomatic" in Washington DC on May 24 at 5:30 PM. To learn more about this band visit their website at: www.goldheartbluegrass.com and just keep listening!!!
