In the spirit of great music legacies, Gallagher Guitar Co. and the town of Murfreesboro will provide the setting for the inaugural GallagherFest (GallagherFest.com).
The event covers two evenings and one full day of fun, starting with the open jam on Friday night, May 3rd.

Tone provides their cutting-edge Mastertone banjo, the OB-3EF, as a coveted prize for the banjo contest. And that’s not all – Gallagher Guitar Co. is generously gifting a Gallagher G-50 to the victor of the Flatpicking Contest! Cash prizes await 2nd and 3rd place finishers. Think you have what it takes?
