International Suite 2006 Announced

The International Suite at IBMA's World of Bluegrass will continue this year with an amazing choice of bands from outside the USA performing on Tuesday, September 26 and Wednesday, September 27 (10.45 pm to 2 am on both days). The International Suite will move to the "Belmont 3" room at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville which allows for more seating space and a PA system.

Bands already scheduled to appear include the Abrams Brothers (Canada), Blue Railroad Train (France), # 1 European Band 2005/2006 Carmel Sheerin & The Ravens (Ireland) and Takeharu Kunimoto & The Last Frontier (Japan).

The International Suite will again be organized by the European Bluegrass Music Association with a grant from IBMA's International Outreach Program. Bands from outside the USA interested in playing the International Suite, should contact Paolo Dettwiler at paolo@ebma.org.
