Thanks to everyone who participated in our “Free Earl Scruggs Tickets” giveaway. We have our two winners now.

Tom & Ryan have each won a pair of tickets to the Earl Scruggs and Friends concert in Charlotte, NC on April 11. We hope you guys enjoy the show.

Thanks to Cindy Baucom for providing the tickets and the concert info. We all appreciate your hard work promoting and providing quality bluegrass music to the masses!

Earl Scruggs is a national treasure. He is one of the greatest musicians in American history, and seeing him live is a thrill. If you are a banjo player it’s extra special.

Our friend Cindy Baucom of Knee-Deep In Bluegrass, has teamed up with JohnBoy & Billy to produce an Earl Scruggs – Family & Friends concert in Charlotte, NC on Saturday April 11, 2009. To celebrate the event, Cindy has graciously given us 4 tickets to share with our readers.

Here’s the concert info.

JohnBoy & Billy and Knee-Deep In Bluegrass present:

Tickets: $26 – $46.50 (available through TicketMaster and these locations)

Here’s how this is going to work. We have 4 tickets to give away, so we’re going to give away two pairs of tickets. That means you have two chances to win.

Between now and April 7, 2009 we’ll place the following text somewhere on the main page of The Bluegrass Blog, in blue.

FREE EARL SCRUGGS TICKETS

When you see that text, be the first to email us at giveaway@thebluegrassblog.com with the exact location of the text, and the tickets are yours. You must specify the location in order to win. For example, the text might appear directly below the search box in the left sidebar, or at the top of a particular post (in which case you will need to specify the title of the post).

We’ve used random.org to preselect the dates and times for the two appearances of the winning notice.

Have fun, and keep an eye out for that winning text!
