What is a Bluegrass Jam & Where Can I Find One?
Jamming is a critical facet of bluegrass culture. At bluegrass festivals around the globe, for example, attendees of all ages are encouraged to grab an instrument and perform at campfire and post-concert jams, regardless of the attendees’ skill levels or preferred instruments. In fact, these jam sessions are often the highlight of the event for many festival-goers. ~ Michael Daves

The CBMS / RockyGrass Connection
A small group of grassers formed the Colorado Bluegrass Music Society in 1972 "to promote bluegrass music in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region and coordinate the jamming for the enjoyment of its members."
In the following year, 1973, with some prodding by Bill Monroe, "Big Mon", they planned and held the 1st annual Colorado Rocky Mountain Festival. After 20 years of throwing this massive festival, it was time to hand it over to Planet Bluegrass--the organizers of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It was in good hands!
The Rocky Mountain Bluegrass Festival-aka Monroe's Festival, became RockyGrass in 1993.
