About the Rhythm and Roots Festival
Bluegrass That Comes to You
Ever since its conception in 1982, the folks putting on Rhythm and Blues have only wanted one thing: to bring bluegrass to the people. Each year we bring together the top bluegrass bands in the world – old and new alike – and brought their sound to every corner of the USA.
We are excited to announce that in 2026 we will be doubling the length of the tour from three months all the way up to six months in hopes of reaching even more folks.
