The Three Cords Co presents Fat Shirley’s Trailer Park – A Bluegrass Opera featuring The Hog Ranch Band.

"Produced by special arrangement with Spatial Effects of Tunnel Hill Georgia"

This year’s Bluegrass Weekend at The Bristol Folk House kicks ff in true spirit with Fat Shirley’s: A Trailer Park Opera.

A cacophony of foot-stomping bluegrass musical numbers telling the simple story of a very simple community. In the operatic tradition there is grief, love, peril, betrayal and incest, as the trailer park residents come to terms with an untimely death, possible eviction, and marital strife.

Previously performed in the US and the UK Fat Shirley has developed something of a cult following: the Rocky Horror Show of the bluegrass scene, with audience members often turning up in costume.

With memorable songs and hard-driving bluegrass music, provided by
the four-part Hog Ranch band, this visit to the Deep South will keep
you humming long after the final cord twangs.

So get your tickets, tell your friends, leave your inhibitions at the door
and sing along!
