Folk Routes, Inc. a/k/a San Diego North County Bluegrass & Folk Club is one of the most welcoming music associations in Southern California. They provide live events each month, currently being held at a local pizza restaurant. They host an open jam when possible, the same evening. There is patio jamming for musicians of all skill levels.
Currently the annual membership is $25 per calendar year. That cost covers an entire family.
What a deal! They co-sponsor the long running and successful Summergrass Bluegrass Festival, held in Vista, CA in August, of each year. It is a well-attended, family friendly event.
The board of directors is enthusiastic and passionate in their endeavor to promote the genre. They are not limited to bluegrass and folk, but to other acoustic music, such as swing, gypsy jazz, country, and more. Twice yearly, NCBFC hosts a campout featuring live music, a shared meal, usually held in San Diego county. If you have not yet attended one of their live events, visit their website and contact them.
