SWBA Member Sponsored Events

In addition to those events and activities sponsored by the association as a whole, there are a variety of events sponsored by individual members.

They are open to SWBA members and their guests, and they include such things as:

  • House jams at members' houses

  • Special campouts on members' property

All members of the association receive the  bi-monthly newsletter (the Soundboard) where these and other events and activities are announced.

For those who are not yet members but would like to find out more about all of our events and activities, we'd love to have you join the fun!  Click HERE to find out how.

Additional member campouts in beautiful settings 

are sponsored by SWBA every year.

   
  
 

SWBA Sponsored Programs

 

  • SWBA School Program:

SWBA is currently conducting a School Program that brings bluegrass music and instruments into the classroom, thereby introducing this uniquely American form of music to the next generation.

 

Led by SWBA Board Member, Lloyd Morris, with assistance from members Linda and Carl Bruseshaber, this program is receiving an enthusiastic response from the students in the classrooms visited.

 

Several students attended Huck Finn's Jubilee in 2007, along with their instructor, Eric Nordbeck, and they even had an opportunity to perform before a very responsive audience on the SWBA stage:

 

 

The school program uses donated instruments and funds.  Anyone who wishes to donate to the program may do so by contacting Lloyd Morris at education@s-w-b-a.com, or by clicking HERE (all funds contributed for the School Program go to a special bank account set up exclusively for that purpose and will not be used for any other SWBA expenses).
