Mission and Purpose
We are a community that shares our love for bluegrass music — its rich tradition, spirited sound, and the strong fellowship it inspires. Our mission is simple yet deeply rooted: to keep bluegrass music alive and thriving in Central Indiana by promoting its culture, celebrating its history, and nurturing the next generation of pickers, singers, and fans.
Whether you’re a seasoned musician, an enthusiastic listener, or brand new to the genre, you’ll find a place here. From jam sessions to information about festivals and live shows, CIBA offers a welcoming space for everyone who loves the soul of bluegrass.
We invite you to get involved:
- Come to a jam or meeting
- Share your ideas and talents
- Bring a friend or two
- Most importantly — enjoy the music!
We’re glad you’re here and can’t wait to get to know you better. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, don’t hesitate to reach out.
