The Fall Bluegrass Season Moves Into October
Bluegrass from Jackson, WY.
Snap Jackson At Brown Barn
The busy Northern California fall season of bluegrass moves into October, with the big Hardly Strictly Bluegrass gathering to start things off and great shows all through the month. Our NCBS members will be everywhere. You can find details on these highlighted events and on many other fine shows on the NCBS Web Calendar.
Bluegrass Returns To La Honda's Cafe Cuesta
Many of our folks will start the month wrapping up the International Bluegrass Music Association World Of Bluegrass Convention in Nashville (September 26-October 2). Just about everyone else will welcome October with HSB’s Warren Hellman in Golden Gate Park, then everyone can recover with a relaxed outing in Gilroy at the NCBS Jake’s Brown Barn Bluegrass Festival on the second weekend of October.
