Welcome to the Arizona Bluegrass Association!!

Our mission at the Arizona Bluegrass Association is to promote and encourage the uniquely American musical forms of bluegrass, old-time, gospel, and traditional instrumental and vocal music of the United Stated. We are dedicated to promoting these music forms throughout Arizona and the Desert Southwest.

We accomplish this through facilitating jams, workshops and other educational opportunities for "pickers" of all skill levels.  Those who don't play an instrument (grinners) but enjoy the music are encouraged to get involved and help us spread the word about this great musical style.
