Stage 5 (or, originally, "Stage V") is an unofficial stage at the Walnut Valley Festival, an annual bluegrass festival in Winfield, Kansas, United States.[1]
Set up in the Pecan Grove campground, the informal stage began in 1987 when camper Russell Brace and friends built it on the back of a 1954 Chevrolet 4100 1-1/2 ton flatbed truck. The stage is so-named because the festival proper has four main stages.
The stage was immediately popular and is now a cherished tradition at the annual event.
Audiences at Stage 5 can usually expect to hear typical acoustic string instruments. With thirty minute time slots many different styles of acoustic music can be heard at Stage 5 .. Traditional bluegrass, newgrass, thrashgrass, western, country, singer/songwriter, Celtic, Americana, folk and old-time are just some of the various styles.
Several notables have played Stage 5. Among them: Beppe Gambetta, Tommy Emmanuel, the Wilders, the Steel Wheels, Byron Berline Band, Barry "Bones" Patton, Pixie & the Party Grass Boys, Front Porch, the Kissinger Brothers, 3 Trails West, Moonshroom, Pretend Friend, the Dewayn Brothers and Split Lip Rayfield.
"Stage 5 Motel ... more than just a one mic stand."
