Bluegrass music has been a staple of the musical life of New York City for decades. Brooklyn has become the center of gravity for this vibrant and compelling musical genre – home to the most famous musicians, supporting dozens of small venues with live acoustic music and jams, hosting festivals and events through the year, as well as concerts, podcasts, etc.
Musicians around the country, even the world, know about the amazing music scene here in Brooklyn. Musical tourists seek out the many jams and concerts, and the many bluegrass musicians living here support small businesses and venues that provide services and stages for their music.
Brooklyn is clearly “The Bluegrass Borough,” - therefore we call on New York City government to support this request and make this recognition official. With your signature, we can make this dream a reality. Let us unite in celebrating the vibrant bluegrass community that makes Brooklyn so special. Please sign this petition to officially recognize Brooklyn as "The Bluegrass Borough."
