Welcome to the IBA ​
​

We are a group of musicians that get together to play music and socialize in friendly laid back jam sessions. We play a variety of acoustical instruments and sing, some of us are pretty good, and some not so good. Some of us attend music festivals and events as a group, and we can be found jamming in parking lots and camping areas. The music we play reflects a broad definition of Bluegrass, which includes fiddle tunes, ballads, Old-Time music, Country, Gospel, Blues, Swing, original songs, and about anything else that can be played on acoustic instruments.
If you are looking for an outlet for your musical talent, regardless the level, come join us.
Here on the web you can find:
  • ​our IBA info like About (our current officers), Quarterly Newsletters, Our Logo designer, and the Snap Shot from current and past members ​
  • be informed about events (Calendar or check some flyers at Other Bluegrass Events) ​
  • visit our workshops (see tabs) ​
  • support our Local Bands and Teachers  ​
  • browse through our Links or suggest one ​
  • have fun​​

​        ........
and please come on out to our events and jams!!!

​The Idaho Bluegrass Association  provides this web site to promote bluegrass music.  
If you love bluegrass like we do,  please join us so we can continue to provide this service to the community.
