Sometimes you want to be strung along. The Jenny Brook Bluegrass festival, presenting more than a dozen string bands, is one of those times. Pickers, strummers and listeners converge at this four-day hootenanny in the hills, where well-oiled groups such as Lonesome River Band (pictured) and raw talent from the likes of the Zolla Boys take over four stages. The sister-fronted Bankesters represent the ladies in the grand tradition of family bands. Folks who long for simpler times can revel in a down-home jubilee that is pure country.
