Finding live bluegrass music shouldn't feel like detective work. Yet for years, fans have had to dig through band websites, venue calendars, and scattered social posts just to figure out where shows are happening.
That challenge is exactly why GrassGigs exists, and we were honored to recently be featured by Bluegrass Today, one of the most trusted publications in the bluegrass community:

What Is GrassGigs?
GrassGigs is an interactive map that displays live bluegrass events all over the world in one place. Instead of hunting through multiple sites, fans can explore a single map to see upcoming shows by location, venue, or band.
The goal is simple: make live bluegrass easier to discover.
Why Finding Live Bluegrass Is So Difficult
Unlike many other music genres, bluegrass events are often:
- Listed only on individual band websites - Each band maintains their own tour calendar
- Buried on venue calendars - Mixed in with other genres and events
- Shared exclusively on social media - Easy to miss if you don't follow the right accounts
- Passed along by word of mouth - Great for locals, but newcomers miss out
This fragmented approach makes it easy for fans to miss shows, and for venues to miss potential audiences.
How GrassGigs Solves the Problem
GrassGigs brings these scattered listings together into one easy-to-use experience:
- Automatic discovery of events from band websites
- Venue pages that group all upcoming shows in one place
- A map-based interface for quick visual browsing
- No account required for fans - just visit and explore
As highlighted by Bluegrass Today, GrassGigs already displays bluegrass shows across the globe — making it easier than ever to discover live music whether you're at home or traveling.
