Our mission at the Arizona Bluegrass Association is to promote and encourage the uniquely American musical forms of bluegrass, old-time, bluegrass gospel, and traditional instrumental and vocal music of the United States.

We are dedicated to promoting these music forms throughout Arizona and the Desert Southwest. We accomplish this through facilitating jams, workshops and other educational opportunities for “pickers” of all skill levels. Those who don’t play an instrument (grinners) but enjoy the music are encouraged to get involved and help us spread the word about this great musical style.

The Arizona Bluegrass Association is a non-profit corporation formed under the laws of the State of Arizona and is IRS recognized as a 501 (c)(3), an educational, historical and tax exempt public corporation. It is not organized for the private gain of any person, or persons. Membership fees, merchandise sales, donations, and fund-raising projects, all of which pay for the events, activities, and programs we offer, wholly support the Arizona Bluegrass Association. All gifts, including cash, and instruments, are fully tax deductible within the IRS Tax Code.
