Community Cooperation
The Route 23 Bluegrass Festival, formerly the SamJam Bluegrass Festival, was built on a solid community foundation, where area businesses, civic organizations, nonprofits, and individual contributors shared our vision to create one of America's great bluegrass festivals while having a positive economic impact.
Without these community-minded partners, and individuals inside the bluegrass community who support this music, this festival would not only be impossible, but would never have gotten off the ground. It is with our deepest gratitude to them that we kindly ask you consider supporting these entities that have done so much for our community and for bluegrass music.
If you would like to become a part of our Route 23 Bluegrass family, please contact Rick Greene by phone or text at (740) 547-9059 or email rgreene36@gmail.com.
