History
The NIBA was formed in 1996 as a group of musicians who met weekly to play bluegrass in a barn in Grand Ridge, Illinois.[1] Over time, it developed into a community of musicians and listeners from Illinois, southern Wisconsin, northwestern Indiana and eastern Iowa who share a love of bluegrass music.
Activities
The NIBA organizes and promotes local bluegrass jams and events[2] and participates in the Bluegrass In The Schools program.
The NIBA publishes a newsletter for its members with upcoming event announcements and other bluegrass-related news items.[3]
