Founded in 1975, the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association (MBOTMA) has close to 1000 members and 100 member bands who love bluegrass, old-time string band, and related acoustic music.
Our mission is to preserve and promote bluegrass and old-time stringband music in and around the state of Minnesota.
We're a non-profit organization, presenting three festivals each year as well as a variety of jam sessions and other special events. We support nearly 100 Member Bands across the state who play Bluegrass, Old-Time and adjacent acoustic music.
Join us to become part of this wonderful group of people and help us continue to bring traditional acoustic music to the Upper Midwest.
