Poppy Mountain Bluegrass Festival is an annual festival held on a 1000 acre farm outside of Morehead, Kentucky. The third week of September every year the “Mountain” fills with bluegrass fans from all over the world. Many bluegrass greats have entertained fans at Poppy Mountain from Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, Nitty Gritty Band, and this year Ricky Skaggs.

On my first visit to Poppy Mountain I had no idea what Bluegrass Music was even about. I certainly didn’t think I would become such a fan of the music. This was my 12th visit to Poppy Mountain and in those twelve years I have met tons of people many of which have become what I consider to be life-long friends. My first year I shot about 100 photos, but then again I was just there for the weekend. Now I spend the entire week and shoot thousands of images. I have become know on the mountain as the “PoppyRotzi”.
