The Baltimore Bluegrass Meetup Group

Primarily dedicated to new and intermediate bluegrass players and fans. Just an old fashioned JAM / WORKSHOP session for traditional acoustic players and those who want to learn. Guests and listeners are welcome, finger food contributions accepted but not expected. Please check the events schedule before coming.

This is a family atmosphere and proper conduct with respect to others is required.

NO SOLICITATION, ADVERTISING or PROMOTION permitted by members or non members without prior permission or approval of the group organizer. Any unathorized entry on this site may be removed at the discretion of the organizer.

When down South please see Tim at http://bluegrass.meetup.com/144/ for some North Carolina pickin fun. They're good folks and Tim actually started this group here before he left Baltimore.

"I developed a love for bluegrass based on some of the newer folk bands hitting the mainstream a la Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show. My husband bought me a banjo this past Christmas, and I would love to learn to play."
