Northern Illinois Bluegrass Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northern Illinois Bluegrass Association (NIBA) was originally formed in 1996 for the purpose of promoting and preserving bluegrass music in the northern Illinois area. The NIBA originally began as a group of musicians who met weekly to play bluegrass in a barn in Grand Ridge, Illinois. It has since become a vibrant community of musicians and listeners from Illinois, southern Wisconsin, northwestern Indiana, and eastern Iowa who share a common love of the music. The NIBA promotes local jams and events as well as the Bluegrass In The Schools program.
