About The North Florida Bluegrass Association
Mission Statement
The Purpose of The North Florida Bluegrass Association:
To promote and preserve Bluegrass music.
To serve as an authority and community resource on the subject of Bluegrass music.
What We Do
We promote Bluegrass music through jams, instructional workshops, concerts, community festivals, education, our EXPO (October of each year) and our monthly newsletter The Midnight Flier. We play traditional bluegrass instruments. Many of us pick and grin while others just listen and grin. We were unplugged before unplugged was cool. Some of our groups go into public schools to present our music to youngsters; Others perform our music at Health Facilities, Public Functions and Fundraisers. The association meets the 3rd weekend (3rd Saturday) of every month (except Dec.) at different locations each month. We invite you to join us!
