IBMA Festival 9-27-24 IN RALEIGH NC
INTERNATIONAL BLUEGRASS MUSIC ASSOCIATION WIDE OPEN BLUEGRASS STREET FESTIVAL
The International Bluegrass Music Association has made Raleigh its home since 2013 for its annual conference, awards ceremony & massive street festival, complete with plenty of live music.
The World of Bluegrass has brought a who’s who in the genre to downtown Raleigh for concerts both organized and impromptu. Every year in the last week of September, those wandering downtown are sure to hear the plucks of a guitar or banjo in the halls of the Raleigh Convention Center & nearby hotels as people celebrate & honor bluegrass music & its roots.
The festival & conference have become one of the city’s signature events, attracting as many as 223,000 people. This year, will be the last year the IBMA holds its event in Raleigh after it & the city didn’t renew their agreement.
But before they head to Chattanooga, Tenn., (at least for the next 3 years), there’s one more year to celebrate in Raleigh.
This year’s events are Sept. 24-28 & include the IBMA Business Conference, the Bluegrass Ramble showcase & the 35th annual IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards. It culminates with 2 days of free & ticketed concerts - IBMA Bluegrass Live! around Fayetteville Street.

What an honor !! ❤ I just got my Sierra cherry popped last night 😮🥳💃🏻🙏🏼

[@johnmurray2214]

She’s so cute playing along !❤️

[@takechargemedia7345]

Awesome!!!

[@guacamole8964]

Sierra magic.

[@alan4sure]

She's not doing much on that fiddle. Not actually playing the melody of it. Just chords.

[@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda]

I think didn’t know this particular song. She played a long time. Some songs she knew. Some she did not. This song was picked by the mandolin player across from her and she didn’t seem to know it.

[@jeffcarter1174]

Beautiful

[@banjodaze]

she is literally the coolest

[@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda]

Ikr?!?!

@@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda ikr = I Know, Right? (just translating for the global audience, including old folks (like me) stumped by the shorthand 🙂

[@thatsnotrockandroll5804]

looks like she didnt really know the song. still a class act!

[@yateswebb]

It’s a old time jam that’s how it works

[@jonstern7511]

She's listening at the start trying to work out the chords. Gets them in the end I think but her fiddle skills are more basic than her guitar

[@bealestreator8940]

@@jonstern7511 Sierra Ferrell's around wizardly fiddlers all the time - ime she's a super-generous person to just go and jam! above and beyond! real human of her - as is her voice. She has great ears and love for the fiddle - great things will keep happening, i'm sure of it, in the Fox Hunt, Drive You Crazy department, new songs based on old-school fiddle moods 🙂

[@UncleCaptainMidnight]

Still a picker and fiddler at heart

[@bealestreator8940]

Ok. Sierra Ferrell played her 9:30 p.m. show on Friday. At night. After sunset. This jam happened in daylight. So. ? Sierra Ferrell didn't sleep?

[@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda]

I think it’s just the lights from the Marriott. We were on a covered patio. This happened after midnight. In some of the other videos you can see the sky is almost black.

[@bealestreator8940]

@@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda Thanks, TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda! I thought for sure it was bright overcast - dope slap DUH! haha slightly related: I think Sierra Ferrell must be good at sleeping while being transported to the next gig. Van, car, train, bus, or plane. Rowboat to Australia! Not sure about that though. Props to Sierra Ferrell for the 2024 tour. Proper respect!!!

[@Sam-mu5xh]

Nice hornpipe

[@ScottBryant-wi7gb]

Mark Shimick playing as well I think he may be cut off from home due to floods

[@christyethridge3821]

Yes I do believe so too… I didn’t see him in this huddle❤

[@gabrielpelli4213]

What’s this tune called? Sounds great!

[@jacobbenton9500]

Cold Frosty Morning! She also ripped Angeline the Baker and sang it!

[@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda]

We’ve got that video coming up soon. She played a long time. And kept those boots on the whole time! 🤩
