Blue Stem will be at the Double D Ranch on May 3, and September 6, 2008.

The native tallgrass that grows on the prairies of Kansas is also the name taken by a group of musicians from those same prairies. They have combined Western, Bluegrass, Gospel, Rock, and humor to create a blend of unique acoustic music. Their fine western harmonies and bluegrass musicianship teamed with cowboy poetry will surprise and entertain all.

Bluestem was the house band for "The Good Time Radio Review" a live radio show on National Public Radio for many years. They have also performed at music festivals throughout the midwest, and given concerts for the past twenty years. They have performed twelve of the last sixteen years at the Walnut Valley Festival at Winfield, Kansas. They are long time members of the Kansas Touring Arts program, The Kansas Bluegrass Association, and The Western Music Association.
