Dear Indiana State Fingerstyle Guitar Festival Friends,

After a great deal of deliberation with our Producers and Partners, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s festival. It has been a difficult decision, but we feel that the health and safety of our artists and fans are more important than anything else. Even with travel restrictions lifting, it would prove challenging for our players and audience to attend safely and economically. We have reviewed all of the options available to us, and cancelling our 2020 festival is, regrettably, the best call we can make right now.  We will offer refunds to our registered participants and will be communicating directly with them. The Brown County Playhouse is ready to offer ticket refunds via their box office, at 812-988-6555.

Even though we will miss you in-person this year, we will present an online concert the night of our usual Festival Concert – Saturday July 25th. This show will include a retrospective or past Indiana Guitar Fest artists, and a LIVE STREAMING CONCERT which will have details announced shortly. As much as we love see you all at our event, having a virtual concert will be a wonderful way to celebrate fingerstyle guitar and our artists. Stay tuned to our Facebook page and website for details on this special online show.

In closing, we want to thank you for your support over the last nine years as this event has grown. Your love of fingerstyle guitar and the artists is evident, and appreciated. We will be back with our full festival in 2021, so mark your calendars for July 30+31, 2021!

Stay safe and healthy,
Producers Kara Barnard & Chuck Wills
