Bluegrass hounds have ample reason to make their way to Worley, Idaho, this weekend as the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort goes “old-timey” for an epic fiddle contest. The weekend kicks off with a show by arguably the best bluegrass band on the planet, the Del McCoury Band. Together, Del and his boys have won nine Entertainer of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, and the individual members have likewise been recognized for their instrumental prowess — Del’s son Ronnie is simply one of the best mandolin players you’ll ever hear.
