Dare To Be Different Showcase in Bell Buckle, Tenn.

Bell Buckle Records will host its 2nd annual Dare to Be Different Showcase in historic Bell Buckle, Tenn., on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 1 to 10 p.m. The showcase, hosted by Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, will feature something from every branch of the Bluegrass family tree.
