Read more about the concert below.
For a guy that received his higher education in a Phys Ed program, Byron Berline’s life certainly took off in a different direction! Around when he graduated college he was playing with (of all bluegrass artists) Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys. After graduation from college and a few years working with Uncle Sam, he decided to leave the soccer balls and baseball bats behind for his bow and fiddle. He has played fiddle from the age of 5. He won three National fiddle contests. He headed for the west coast and stayed there for 26 years, where he (among other things) recorded with the Burrito Brothers and played a bit part in the movie The Rose. He played with various groups and was a founder in the group California, named the IBMA instrumental group of the year for ‘92-94.
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.
