Bluegrass Folks Should Make Their Voices Heard In The California Election
It’s time for bluegrass folks in California to make their voices heard in the election on Tuesday, September 14, 2021. Ballots have been sent to all registered California voters. Mailing in your ballot is the easiest way to vote, but ALL Vote Centers in all California counties are open as of Saturday, September 11 if you prefer to vote live and in person.
This Fall Is The Time For Bluegrass Fans To Get Their Vaccine Status In Order For 2022 Festivals
This fall is a good time for bluegrass fans to get their vaccine status in order in advance of upcoming festivals and other events as live bluegrass music returns in full force during 2022.
It appears that vaccine requirements are becoming standard at most bluegrass events. Due to the spread of the Delta Variant of the Covid 19 Virus, bluegrass fans are increasingly unwilling to attend bluegrass events where unvaccinated persons are also permitted to attend. On a forward-going basis, proof of vaccine status will be required to attend.
Over the next few months, additional regulatory approval is expected for both initial shots and booster shots. Covid 19 Vaccines are FREE and WIDELY AVAILABLE. The initial vaccine process requires one to two months to complete, with additional time required to complete a booster shot when needed, so advance planning is advised if you are planning to attend any live, in-person bluegrass music events in the future.

Presented by the Northern California Bluegrass Society.
Friday-Sunday, August 13-15 — The Brookdale Bluegrass Festival, usually held in April, will be held in August this year (only). The real thing is back: camping, jamming, and plenty of great stage music. Presented by Brookdale Bluegrass and welcomed by NCBS.
