Fortunately, the only thing on fire at the GorgeGrass festival at Skamania County Fairgrounds in Stevenson, Wash., last weekend was the music. Onstage Sunday was a bluegrass gospel band featuring Dave Elliott on mandolin (you may know him as a radio host for OPB’s Music From the True Vine show), Tygh Trachsel on bass, Steve Reischman on guitar (his brother, John, is a celebrated mandolin player) and Mike Stahlman on banjo, who was a longtime member of Oregon band Sawtooth Mountain Boys.
