In downtown Chattanooga next week, you’ll hear more bluegrass from more corners of the world all at one time than ever before.

From Tuesday through Saturday, the International Bluegrass Music Association presents its annual World of Bluegrass for the first of three years in Chattanooga.

IBMA’s World of Bluegrass features many events: a live music festival with top bluegrass artists, artist showcases, a convention, a trade show - and an awards show hosted by Steve Martin and Alison Brown.

How to keep on top of it all?

Randy Steele is a bluegrass musician here in Chattanooga.

Trevor Shaw hosts T Shaw’s Progressive Bluegrass, a podcast that documents and shares all things bluegrass.
