The Bluegrass Spectators were formed by Mark McCracken in Spring 2005 from participants in the New Horizons Bluegrass Band taught by Harold Streeter. All of the Bluegrass Spectators played instruments in their youth and then stopped to raise families and establish themselves in careers.  They have come back to music for the sheer enjoyment of playing Bluegrass Music for others.  The Spectators have played the Inland Northwest Bluegrass Association’s Saturday Night Bluegrass Thang , functions at local churches, the Goose Creek Orpy, several Retirement Homes, and open mikes at other Bluegrass Festivals.
