Allen's Historical Cafe - Band Profile

Boggy Creek Bluegrass was formed by Kissimmee residents Carl and Hazel Young in the late 1970's. The band performed at bluegrass festivals throughout central Florida and were well known regulars at Carl Allen's Cafe on Thursday nights. The band performed traditional bluegrass as well as original numbers. The highlight of many Thursday night performances was "The Legend of the Rebel Soldier."
