Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association

The HVBA Annual Spring Fundraiser is coming up soon!

Time to put aside any crazy ideas about spring cleaning, gardening, painting picket fences or freshening up your nests after the long hard winter, and turn your minds to a well spent afternoon, surrounded by good friends, good food, good drink and most of all, good music!

The fundraiser will be held on Sunday, May 18th from 1-6pm at Poughkeepsie’s River Station Restaurant, and will showcase some really fine local bluegrass bands: (Complete details on News Tab)

Monthly Jam Session

The HVBA hosts two monthly jam sessions!! They are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.

All of our jam sessions feature the Slow Jam, which happens during the first 60 minutes. From 6:00 to 7:00, we invite you to play at a sane pace in a supportive, non-competitive environment. The regular jam lasts the full four hours.
