The Chapmans of Missouri headline the sixth annual Bluegrass Blizzard Weekend Jan. 7-8 on the Bismarck State College campus.

Two evening concerts by the international bluegrass champions are at 7:30 p.m. both days in Sidney J. Lee Auditorium, Schafer Hall.

Opening the Jan. 7 show is Spiritwood Creek, a bluegrass-country-gospel group from Jamestown and Spiritwood Lake. Cotton Wood, a Washburn-based band, opens the Jan. 8 concert.

The Chapmans are a family band in the tradition of the Whites, Stanleys and other bluegrass bloodlines.

Bluegrass workshops with The Chapmans are scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 8 in the BSC Leach Music Center. Cost is $5 with no pre-registration required. Bring your instruments for workshops in fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass and banjo. Other activities include harmony class and song-writing class. Participants will learn a bluegrass song.

The Chapmans also will perform a free community concert from 10:15 to 11 a.m. Jan. 7 at New Salem High School.

General admission tickets for the BSC evening concerts are $15. They can be purchased in Bismarck at Eckroth Music, String Bean, Jacobsen Music, and Night Life Music; in Washburn at Chase Drug and Java Rose; in Center at Corner Express; or at the door, if available.
