Bluegrass Painter creates IBMA Art
Our friend Bob Yonke over at Appalachian Studio (and his blog The Bluegrass Painter) was commissioned last year to create a piece of artwork for this year’s (2008) IBMA World of Bluegrass event. He emailed over the weekend and sent along an image of the completed artwork, including the textual graphic components.
You’ll be seeing this art a lot more as IBMA sends out their promotional materials throughout the year. Nice work Bob!

Brance and I had a busy week at IBMA earlier this month, but were not able to stay for the Fan Fest which ran that weekend (10/3-4). Our impression of the World Of Bluegrass trade show was that attendance was down, and several exhibitors and vendors expressed that their sales and interaction were also...

Our friend Ted Lehmann has posted a very nice overview of the recent IBMA convention in Nashville on his blog.
