Featured Events

Wintergrass is on it's way - February 25th - 28th. Join us at our first ever OBA/RiverCity Festival Jam Suite!

For the first time, the OBA will have a place to host jams and showcase Oregon bands during the three wild days of Wintergrass. Adventurous pickers will want to attend a special midnight jam after the last Saturday evening show. The "Newgrass and Beyond Jam" invites fans of musicians like Chris Thile, Bela Fleck, Sam Bush and Darol Anger to show their chops. The rest of the weekend will feature traditional and slow jams. So, stop by to hear the bands you've been reading about, but haven't gotten a chance to see at a festival yet. If you're interested in hosting a jam, showcasing or contributing to the cost of the suite or refreshments, email info@oregonbluegrass.org.

We'll open the door early on Thursday to let the jammin' begin and won't stop until Sunday! Band members will be rollin' through and all levels of pickin' are welcome! So stop on by and say hi, then stay and pick awhile!

March is right around the corner, so put our OBA Willamette Valley Gospel Show on your calendars!

We cannot thank Ken Cartwright enough for organizing and hosting this Gospel show for the OBA!
