Welcome!
On behalf of the Board of Directors and our entire membership I'd like to welcome you to the Ottawa Valley Bluegrass Music Association website with an opportunity to visit and check out the many activities and happenings with our club. Bluegrass music in Ottawa has had a long and rich history dating back five decades. But as important as the history has been, so is the future. Our club offers an opportunity to share music and friendship with the many others that enjoy the music. So whether you are a listener, a picker, a concert goer or simply a friend to the music, we welcome you and hope that we can accommodate you in all that our Association offers. Our Board of Directors welcome communication and input, and if for not other reason to simply shout out and say hello. We would love to hear from you. We hope to see you at concert or a jam soon. Dan Buch President, Ottawa Valley Bluegrass Music Association
Especially now, during this time of social distancing, and the sad fact of live music cancellations, you are probably missing hearing some great bluegrass. Check out some of the videos we'll post here on the Valley Grass site, and stay happy and safe. (Click on the button above.)

Dear Members
April 2020 Valley Grass Bluegrass Music Association regrets that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the touring concerts series in 2020 have been cancelled. In addition, the monthly jam sessions have been put on hold until further notice, as directed by government health experts. On behalf of the Board, we do hope that everyone remains safe in these difficult times. While we have not had concerns, the music does continue with a good number of our own members and friends sharing their own recordings on Facebook and elsewhere; Pat Moore, Leon Schwieg, Stuart Rutherford to name only a few. And my appologies for not recognizing everyone. We will all get through this but in the meantime, send an email and check in on a friend, go old school and make phone call. If there is anything we can do to help, please reach out. We will all be back attending concerts, socializing and or picking at jams soon. On behalf of the Board and collective membership we are praying for everyones' safety and wellness. Dan Buch President, Ottawa Valley Bluegrass Music Association |
