The Boston Bluegrass Union is an all-volunteer New England-based bluegrass music association promoting and supporting bluegrass festivals, concerts, jams, and bluegrass music education throughout the Northeast.

The 2020 Joe Val Festival is now over, and what a weekend it was! Great music, jamming, workshops, classes, and much less sleep than we all needed. Thanks for coming, and we hope to see you next year!
