Greetings Bluegrass Lovers!
We are sorry to say that our efforts to find a venue suitable to host our bluegrass music shows have not been successful. At this time, we have no shows scheduled for the current season (winter-spring 2026). Our board will be meeting to discuss the future direction of the organization and we will keep you informed by email and on this website.
Thank you for your participation and support of our efforts these past 13 years and more to bring quality live local bluegrass music to Fort Myers. Your attendance and enthusiasm made our shows exciting and engaging for the audience and the performers. We hold all who have been involved in great regard and with much affection.
Doug Gerdon, President
