This morning we arrived at the Nashville International Airport to take off for Raleigh, N.C. – where the Nashville-based International Bluegrass Music Association is holding its annual "World of Bluegrass" travel agents vista california events this week.
This year marks the first time the IBMA has held the event – which includes the International Bluegrass Music Awards – outside of Nashville since 2005, and "World of Bluegrass" will remain in Raleigh through 2015.
I – along with Tennessean photographer Sam Simpkins – will find out how the move has been, as we cover the week's events live through Friday. Today, we'll check out the IBMA's annual business conference at the city's travel agents vista california convention center, and that includes a slew of daytime music showcases. Later tonight, bluegrass groups will take over many of downtown Raleigh's music venues in for the nightly "Bluegrass Ramble."
