Bourbon and Bluegrass is an annual preservation fundraiser and celebration of great American music and cocktails to help safeguard Abraham Lincoln’s beloved summer home right here in Petworth.

The performance is virtual and will be livestreamed from President Lincoln’s Cottage where it will be performed live for the veterans at the Armed Forces Retirement Home who have been sequestered the past year.

The music kicks off on Sunday, June 13, 2021, 4pm - 7pm.

The event’s headliner is Dom Flemons, “The American Songster,” a Grammy-winning artist who has made a careful study of the history of bluegrass music. His Grammy nominated album Black Cowboys was released on Smithsonian Folkways recordings in conjunction with the National Museum of African American History and Culture as part of the African-American legacy series.
