Intermountain Acoustic Music Association

Intermountain Acoustic Music Association The Intermountain Acoustic Music Association (IAMA) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Acoustic music today has a large and passionate national following and remains an integral part of America's cultural fabric. Likewise, acoustic music has a long tradition in Utah, having been part of the culture brought here by the pioneers, handed down through generations in family homes, at social gatherings, and in community dances and festivals. IAMA continues this Utah tradition by making ac

oustic music available and accessible to the citizens of our county through concerts, open jam sessions, open mics and a monthly magazine for sharing information about the history of acoustic music and acoustic music-related events in the area.

RIP “Big Ken”. A fixture at many acoustic events for decades.

We are saddened to learn that "Big Ken" Meyer passed away on Friday, May 8. Ken (on the left) frequented TedFest and did a great job as MC one year. His big character lived up to his name. He loved leading a jam and was always so supportive of young musicians. He loved music and the people that he met while playing it. He had hundreds of fascinating anecdotes and enjoyed debating the laws of thermodynamics late into the night. Big Ken will be deeply missed.
