Besides these \u201cofficial\u201d showcase performers, other artists will be added to the Bluegrass Ramble via co-sponsored shows at the venues along with privately hosted \u201cAfter Hours Showcases\u201d (Tuesday-Friday) at the Marriott.

Both IBMA Business Conference attendees (with ID) and the general public (with wristbands that can be purchased online) will be admitted to the Bluegrass Ramble showcases. Although the IBMA is adding afternoon showcases this year to its business conference from Tuesday-Thursday, these will be open only to conference registrants\/attendees — affording artists an opportunity to showcase their talents before talent buyers, labels, agents and \u201ctastemakers\u201d in the bluegrass community.<\/p>\n

IBMA\u2019s World of Bluegrass is considered bluegrass music\u2019s annual industry gathering and family reunion. This is its third year in Raleigh, having uprooted from its Nashville base in 2013. IBMA has partnered with The Greater Raleigh Convention & Visitors Bureau, PineCone \u2013 The Piedmont Council of Traditional Music, the City of Raleigh and a local organizing committee to extend its outreach to the roots music community and local bluegrass music fans in the Carolinas.<\/p>\n

Featuring a wide array of professional development seminars, meetings and forums, a keynote speaker to be announced, artist showcases and late-night hospitality functions, an exhibit hall, and plenty of networking and relationship-building opportunities, the business conference portion of World of Bluegrass 2015 will extend from Tuesday, Sept. 29 trough Thursday, Oct. 1. The 26th annual International Bluegrass Music Awards, a centerpiece of the week, will be presented on Thursday evening, Oct. 1, while the festival portion of World of Bluegrass 2015 will take place Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2 and 3. Featuring free stages and ticketed performances, the Wide Open Bluegrass music festival will afford conference attendees and the general public opportunities to hear a wide variety of bluegrass music and enjoy a street fair with music stages, vendors of all sorts, and youth activities.<\/p>\n
