Pearl River Guitars Participates in MidSouth Nostalgia Festival

Pearl River Guitars once again participated in the MidSouth Nostalgia Festival, held June 5–7 at the Whispering Woods Hotel in Olive Branch, Mississippi.
Backed by a team led by North American Pearl River guitar representative Sherry Carlisle Smith and SCE Group, the brand’s presence was felt during the three-day festival, where attendees were treated to appearances by brand spokesman and country artist Keith Burns, who signed autographs, took part in celebrity Q&A panels, and performed at the Saturday night banquet.
Among this year’s crowd favorites were the Pearl River S1CO-JCB Jumbo Cutaway and the BPJ60-N all-maple bass guitar. Stuntman and actor Diamond Farnsworth — whose credits include NCIS, First Blood, and Ghostbusters — was so taken with Burns’ guitar, he joined the roster of Pearl River endorsers and was gifted an S1CO-JCB as a welcome.
“This festival is all about storytelling, heritage and connection,” said Sherry Carlisle Smith. “That’s what Pearl River Guitars is about, too — so the match couldn’t be more perfect.”
With Hollywood stars like Mary Badham, Robert Carradine, Patrick Wayne and Jon Provost all in attendance, the event was a haven for classic cinema fans.
