Welcome
to the Official Website for the first feature film about bluegrass music, Bluegrass Country Soul, which captured the sights and sounds of Carlton Haney’s 1971 Labor Day Festival in Camp Springs, North Carolina. As we prepare for an early release of the newly restored movie in a Golden Anniversary Box-Set, please subscribe to our BGCS Newsletters for background stories, updates, special offers, and event announcements. As a subscriber, you’ll be the first to learn how you can have your name in the credits of the new, archival edition of the movie.
