Hope everyone had a great time at the 40th Joe Val Bluegrass Festival this past weekend. Personally, I thought it was an epic weekend but over way too soon. Not a bad effort after five years on the back foot. A big shout out to BBU Board, Staff,
Volunteers, Bands, and the hotel staff that made the event possible.
Adam Engelhardt, Executive Director of the International Bluegrass Music Museum, was on hand for the entire weekend. It was great to get his perspective on the event. As many of you might, or not, know, the IBMM acquired the publishing rights to Bluegrass
Unlimited back in 2020. It continues as the sole national print publication devoted to bluegrass music.
Adam would like to offer NE bluegrass fans a special discount to an annual subscription of Bluegrass Unlimited. I'm going to take him up on the deal, and figured others might like to support the IBMM and its flagship publication. Subscribe by going to
www.bluegrassunlimited.com/subscribe and enter the promo code "JoeVal" for the special offer.
