To: danjmatt@bellsouth.net Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 11:06 AM Greetings and Salutations! We're so happy to announce that the annual Ashford Manor Concerts on the Lawn Series is just under a week away from getting started! We've put together an exciting and diverse line-up for 2009 and we are looking forward to seeing all of our friends, new and old, next Monday for our first of nine concerts! Please take a moment to read through this email, as we have a lot of important information to help aid you in your pursuit of another fantastic time under the stars with the best local and regional music Georgia has to offer. We have a brand new website at www.amconcerts.com with more information then you could possibly need! Be sure to stop by and check it all out, including online ticket sales, weather updates, band information, and how to order food from our favorite local eateries to help make your experience that much more special! On Monday, May 25th, we come together to celebrate Memorial Day with the sweet sounds of The Packway Handle Band. If you haven't seen Packway, then don't miss this opportunity. Packway Handle Band is one of Georgia's premiere bluegrass acts and we are elated to have them kick off the series. The Packway Handle Band has emerged at the national forefront of bands that use this "gather around the mic" style. PHB's second full length record "(Sinner) You Better Get Ready" was recorded this way. Theirs is not a mission to preserve historical styles—it's just how they do what they do the best. And what they do best is rooted in thought provoking songwriting, clever choice and arrangement of bluegrass traditionals, and totally unexpected covers, all delivered with a crackling energy. GET YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE! Tickets are now available in advance online through our brand new ticketing site. Adult tickets are $15.00, tickets for children under 12 are $5.00, and children under the age 6 can come in for free! If you're a student, be sure to bring a valid I.D. and receive a $3.00 discount!
