Hear the Circle Strings Custom Redwood Guitar in action!

Father’s Day Festival 2026 Artist at Large Scott Gates took this one-of-a-kind FreshGrass-commissioned guitar for a spin, and it sounds every bit as good as it looks.

Handcrafted by luthier Adam Buchwald and originally commissioned for the FreshGrass Festival, this one-of-a-kind instrument features a redwood top, walnut back and sides, and a custom FreshGrass Foundation inlay at the 12th fret. With its warm, balanced tone and exceptional responsiveness, it's easy to understand why Circle Strings guitars are so highly regarded among players and collectors.

⏰ Bidding closes June 20 at 8:30 PM PDT. (ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!)

And a special shout-out from Scott to Jack Kinney for the super sweet Sanger hat featured in the video. 🧢

Volunteer positions are still available for Father’s Day Festival!

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the CBA. They are how we get things done. You don’t have to have any special skills to be a volunteer – just the desire to join with others to help put on a Bluegrass festival! In addition to being Very Important People, volunteers get a free Four Day Festival Ticket. It’s a great way to meet people, be part of the community, and help create one of the most beloved bluegrass gatherings around.

Every jam has that one tune that gets everybody leaning in. The one that gets called late at night at festivals. The one that turns into a singalong. The one you never get tired of playing.
