About this event
IBMA World of Bluegrass in Chattanooga stacks a business conference, IBMA Bluegrass Live!, and the Bluegrass Ramble. The conference is built around career sessions with industry experts. Bluegrass Live! puts bands on indoor and outdoor stages across downtown, with local vendors and family-friendly stretches. The Ramble is a showcase series in local venues, meant for hopping between emerging bands and new talent. Late Night at Barrelhouse, Pickin' in the Park, Kids On Bluegrass, a Next Generation Stage, and a College Band Showcase fill out the week.
Our take: Build the week around the Ramble if you want to hop downtown venues for emerging bands between Bluegrass Live! sets
