18 Million Bluegrass Fans
The May/June issue of International Bluegrass, the trade newsletter published by IBMA, has a story citing recent polling data from the Simmons Research firm that says there are 17,977,000 bluegrass fans in the US. That’s 8.5% of the adult population who listed bluegrass as the the musical genre they liked most. Bluegrass music found the 18th slot on a list of the 38 top choices for music genre. Here’s a little more data on this same group of people. The bluegrass fans are:
52% aged between 25-54
53% male
80% own their home
20% have an income of over $100,000
Does this fit you? The first two fit me, but not the second two!


The online edition of the IBMA newsletter, International Bluegrass, is now available on their web site....
