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.
