Bluegrass Forecast - 2024

It looks like 2024 is shaping up to be another great year for bluegrass music in Canada. There are lots of festivals, shows and events lined up already and that will be taking place right across the country. So regardless of where you live there should be plenty of opportunity to catch some of the finest bands around both from the US and Canada. Check out our events page for more information.

Not only are there new and ongoing shows with some great lineups, but there are also a number of new and newly awarded bands out there that you shouldn't miss. You'll find a lot of these groups in our band directory.
