Did you know that the CTBA hosts the most comprehensive calendar of bluegrass events in Central Texas? We update it regularly (psst, let us know about your event!), so keep it bookmarked. Wait, did you say bookmarks are so 2009? Fine. Keep it open permanently in your endless row of browser tabs.

Know of one we’re missing? Email us at [email protected]. And please consider becoming a CTBA member, you can read all about it at CentralTexasBluegrass.org/Join.

It's September, which means it's the Membership Drive! If you...

- attend CTBA bluegrass jams
- make it out to CTBA events
- read the CTBA newsletter
- visit CentralTexasBluegrass.org
- see pictures and stories on the CTBA Instagram page
- spend any time on the CTBA page or in the Central Texas Bluegrass Facebook group (where you are RIGHT NOW)

Then you should be a member!

All of these things and more are made possible by CTBA membership. The CTBA is independent and member-supported, and quite frankly we can't do anything without a thriving membership. You are already a part of the CTBA community. Today is the day to make it official and join the CTBA at CentralTexasBluegrass.org/Join

(The picture is Cedar Fever from 1982, featuring Jamie MacLaggan playing his then-new Ellis Mandolins #25 along with Buck Buchanan, guitar; Wes Pasco, guitar; John Jacob, banjo; Tom...somebody, bass.)

It's September, which means it's the Membership Drive!

The is an entirely independent, grassroots, member-funded nonprofit. We only get to do stuff because of our membership. If you use this page or the Central Texas Bluegrass Facebook group, if you visit CentralTexasBluegrass.org and use our calendars, if you attend our Sunday Bluegrass Jam, if you come out for our big events, you should REALLY consider becoming a member of the CTBA. Because those memberships are the only thing that allow us to do anything at all.
