Musicians with LIVE ONLINE SHOWS this week should submit their show information to Michael Hall at <hallmw@gmail.com>.
The Northern California Bluegrass Society website will publish a Weekly Calendar Of Live Online Bluegrass Shows each Monday Evening during the Coronavirus Crisis.
The next selective listing of shows of interest to Bay Area and beyond bluegrass fans will run at 10:00pm on Monday, March 30.
Local Bluegrass Musicians who usually play live around Northern California can sign up be listed in the new NCBS Directory for giving lessons to potential bluegrass students now at home during “Shelter-In-Place.” The Directory is listed in the index on the left side of the website.
Sign Up To Offer Lessons: <webmaster@ncbs.us>.
Fans can help their favorite musicians and enjoy some fun lessons by checking the directory and arrange for ONLINE LESSONS. The price will be between teacher and student. NCBS hopes this free service will help support our musicians for the duration and provide some bluegrass for folks who are stuck at home.
