Seckler to Monroe Hall of Fame

Curly Seckler will be inducted into the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Hall of Fame, during the 37th annual Uncle Pen Days Festival, which takes place from Wednesday (9/21) through to Saturday (9/24) at the Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park, Bean Blossom, Indiana.

The induction will take place on Saturday.

Seckler’s manager Penny Parsons shared this note .…

“Curly is very much looking forward to his trip to Bean Blossom this weekend and is honored to be inducted into their Hall of Fame. He fondly recalls performing repeatedly at Bean Blossom  in years past, both with Lester Flatt and when Curly was fronting the Nashville Grass after Lester’s passing. In addition to appearing for the induction ceremony, Curly will most likely perform one or two of his signature songs at some point during the evening.”

Without going into detail, there may be a few surprises as well.

The four-day festival runs from Wednesday through Saturday, with lots of great entertainment.
