Bluegrass Organizations

Bluegrass Pride
Bluegrass is for Everyone That's what we believe. It's a simple message, but we think it's one worth fighting for. We want current bluegrassers to know that they are loved and treasured for who they are and the music they make. We want future bluegrassers to know that they are welcome to come as they are without fear of retribution or exclusion. We want the world to know that bluegrass and old-time music are for everybody, regardless of age, race, gender, orientation, nationality, upbringing, or politics. We want to make sure that if you love bluegrass, then bluegrass loves you right back.
