Hello Central Texas 'Grassers! Due to the complexities and vagaries of everyday life, we have had to reschedule the 2024 CTBA Band Scramble & Garage Sale. We are now looking forward to seeing everyone at Sagebrush on Sunday, February 25th.

Here's the schedule:

3PM Doors and Garage Sale open

4PM Bands form

4-5PM Bands rehearse

5-7PM Bands perform

7PM Garage Sale closes

Will it be cold? Probably not! But if it is a little chilly, Sagebrush has more than enough room for seven-to-eight (to nine?) bands to rehearse indoors. And, as always, the Band Scramble will be hosted by Central Texas Bluegrass Luminary, the one and only Mr. Eddie Collins.

With the Garage Sale approaching, we are making a call for donations. If you have old instruments lying around, collecting dust - we want 'em! We'd love any musical instruments and music-related accessories you'd be willing to donate to the CTBA. And, as always, all donations to the CTBA are 100% tax-deductible.

If you are interested in making a donation, please get in touch at CTBA@CentralTexasBluegrass.org.

See y'all on February 25th!!!

A big, big thanks to everyone who came out to our 45th Annual Meeting & Show on Sunday. What a great event!!!

So we'll be moving the CTBA Sunday Bluegrass Jam to Sagebrush starting this Sunday, November 19th.

We'll see y'all pickers, grinners, rounders, etc (just about) every Sunday at Sagebrush (5500 S. Congress) from 3-5PM!!!

CTBA 45th ANNUAL MEETING & SHOW

NEW VENUE AND TIME!!!

Hey everybody, it's Jon Lundbom, the President of the Central Texas Bluegrass Association.

You may have heard by now, but this morning Oskar Blues reached out to let us know that they were closing their Austin production facility and brewpub, effective immediately.

First and foremost, I want to thank Oskar Blues for their absolutely tremendous support of Bluegrass and, more specifically, the CTBA. Oskar Blues Austin has been a wonderful partner for many, many years and we greatly appreciate the support.

This has left us in a difficult position re: our Annual Meeting, but thanks to the hard work of our Board of Directors (and our friend Beth Chrisman) we have managed to move the event to Sagebrush!

The event will be a bit earlier in the day, with a jam starting at 1PM, the Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show at 2:30, and The Po' Ramblin' Boys at 3:30. But we are very grateful that everything worked out.

More info to come, but we will see y'all there!
