I’m thankful we will present Donna Ulisse for the first time, a classy singer and songwriter who has won awards the past three years in a row. High Fidelity will blow away traditional bluegrass fans with so much authenticity and talent as one of the top new bands of the past couple of years,” event producer Joe Mullins said. “We are a music festival, not exclusively bluegrass.
