About Me


Ionia, Michigan is located in the
Heart of ♥ Michigan!

My name is Polly. I am not a musician, I can't sing. But I do like to help my parents promote Bluegrass, Folk and Country Music. My page is about, "The Ionia Bluegrass Country Show/Jam!"
My parents put together this monthly show in Ionia ♥ Michigan. This is the show's 9th Year!

The Ionia Bluegrass Country Show is held at an historical Roxy style theatre right on downtown Main Street. These monthly shows are fundraisers for the up-keep of the theatre,(it's community owned).
Local bands volunteer to be on our stage. Our shows are on the first Sunday of the month Oct- May. We have a large Lobby, Foyer, Dressing rooms, hallways for folks to do some offstage picking. Its a fun time. We usually average 10 bands on stage and seating for approx 750 in the big theatre.
Concessions are available. We have no set price for admission to these shows, we have a donation box at the information table. We welcome musicians to bring flyers, CDS, or any type of promotional items to be placed on our tables. Also our Emcee announces upcoming events from the big stage.
