As September comes to a close, our membership drive is wrapping up too.

To celebrate, we wanted to take a look back at some of the ways CTBA has helped shape the bluegrass scene here in Austin over the last 40+ years.

Swipe through for a little bluegrass history (including some vintage scans from the archives)! And remember: even though the drive is officially ending, you can join the CTBA circle anytime. Link in bio to become a member! 🪕✨
