Town Mountain
Town Mountain • Strong threads that binds us to music are the familiarity with a tradition, and the discovery of a new creativity within that tradition. Whether it is the crisp clean sound of contemporary bluegrass, the familiar tunes and tones of the now sixty-year tradition, or the jam band dynamic and pyrotechnics, it’s all here and Town Mountain is happy to be right in the middle of the constantly simmering bluegrass gumbo.

Planet Bluegrass • World-Class Music Festivals
There is no shortage of bluegrass festivals in the United States, but only an elite group have earned the label "word-class". At Planet Bluegrass, they know how to produce several top-shelf events and excel in every aspect.

Either way, "Festivarians" continually purchase every... Read More

Grass Valley, here I come! • Bruce Campbell
Ah, it’s THAT week. Every year at this time, while I slave away at my high paying, highly fulfilling day job, everybody else is off to Grass Valley. And because I’m so NOT at Grass Valley, it falls to me to keep an eye on the swanky CBA Headquarters, which occupies the entire top floor in the Monroe Tower in Ceres, California.
