The
IBMA World of Bluegrass Songwriter Showcase is a coveted opportunity.
Ten selected songwriters (or songwriting teams) are given the rare and
valuable opportunity to perform one original bluegrass song to the best
bluegrass artists and producers in the industry.
While the standards
will always remain central to the genre, its growth and development is
ensured by the creative output of great songwriters!
