Who We Are

The purpose of the California Bluegrass Association is to encourage, foster, and cultivate the preservation, appreciation, understanding, enjoyment, support, and performance of Bluegrass, Old-time, gospel, and traditional instrumental and vocal music of the United States.

The California Bluegrass Association celebrates the many-faceted cultural roots of Bluegrass and Old-time music. We believe everyone benefits from the well-being and continued growth of Bluegrass and Old-time music in California and beyond.

Our community welcomes and encourages participation and involvement by people of all backgrounds. We strive to open our doors to members, fans and performers who reflect California itself. We work to create a culture that invites all to participate in our events and in the music we play and perform.
