The Bluegrass Songwriters Association offered song circles, demo listening sessions by top bluegrass writers,
mentoring opportunities, a BSA business meeting, and opportunities to
network at the IBMA's World of Bluegrass Conference in Nashville, TN.
The Bluegrass Songwriters Association is a growing organization dedicated to the promotion of professionalism in the field of bluegrass songwriting. We actively encourage participation by our community, from the most renowned writers to those just starting out.
