Formerly known as the Kinston Winter Bluegrass Festival, the two-day Neuse River Music Fest has expanded from exclusively bluegrass to include country singer/songwriter Sunny Sweeney. The Texas native will sing her hit "From a Table Away" and other songs at the festival today on the campus of Lenoir Community College in Kinston. Marty Raybon and the Grass Cats will also perform. Saturday's lineup includes Rhonda Vincent, Rodney Dillard and the Dillard Band, Al Batten and the Bluegrass Reunion, and the Gibson Brothers. www.lenoircc.edu/Foundation/nrmf.htm.
