The Inland Northwest Bluegrass Association is an all-volunteer organization based in Spokane, WA that seeks to build public awareness of bluegrass music in our area through concerts, festivals, jam sessions and other events.  If you are interested in learning more about us, one of the best ways to do that is to check out the Saturday Night Music Showcase, held every third Saturday from October through May.  The SNMS showcases some of the great bluegrass bands in our area -- usually 4 to 6 bands play on stage each month, followed by a very lively jam afterwards.

The INBA is also the proud sponsor of the Blue Waters Bluegrass Festival held every August in Medical Lake near Spokane -- just one of the growing number of great bluegrass festivals held throughout our region.

  


 

Upcoming Events

The 9th Annual Blue Waters Bluegrass Festival has one of the best venues - cool shade and pine trees on the shore of Medical Lake's blue waters and sandy beach. This year's headliner is DAN TYMINSKI and his band and it may be the only time you get to see them this this year as he has signed back on with Allison Krause and cancelled almost all his other solo commitments. Full line-up of other great bands including Martha Scanlon, Growling Old Men, Della Mae, The DownTown Mountain Boys, Loose Digits, Runaway Train and many more!! August 6-7-8 at Waterfront Park in Medical Lake, just 15 minutes from downtown Spokane, WA. Dry tent camping and RV. Lots of jamming and workshops! See website for details!!
