About Me

The Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old Tyme Music Society hosts a festival and workshops in Saskatchewan each year on the third weekend in August. The next festival will be August 15-17, 2008.

Workshops will be held from August 12-15, 2008 (banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass, dobro and vocals) at the festival site (Ness Creek, near Big River, SK).

The Society provides opportunities for musicians and audiences alike to enjoy and learn this musical genre so the bluegrass and old time traditions remain and grow as a part of Saskatchewan’s musical fabric.
