Bayou and Bluegrass Fest at Tgap at Whistle Pig Brewing Company – Colorado Springs, CO

Awright, awright, cher — Picture this: Hot ‘n’ spicy crawfish, fat red shrimp, sweet corn on the cob soakin’ up all that flavor, tender red potatoes just beggin’ for a bite, smoky andouille sausage with a lil’ snap, and mushrooms suckin’ up every drop of that seasoned boil piled high for you to enjoy as the live melodic harmonies of Ms. Amy and the Jet Set fill the air. You’ll pinch the heads and suck the tails of more than 2 pounds of crawfish as local favorite The High Life Cajun Bandlift the spicy steam from the boil ever higher with their bluegrass pickin’ and foot stomping classics. As you savor the flavors of the delicious meal, you sip on a fresh pour of Cajun Spinner Ale (Benefitting Bike MS) or an icy hurricane, as The Old Dangerfield Band brings back memories of the day you fell in love with bluegrass. This is Bayou and Bluegrass.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
