Greg Cahill received the Distinguished Achievement Award from IBMA in 2011 partly for the decades he has spend introducing thousands of young people to bluegrass music at school programs across the country and around the world.
Matt Munsey and his band mates in Monroeville began playing for students at schools last year, with a unique and very successful twist on the same idea.

Music consumers are bombarded constantly by visual images on their computers, on their smart phones, in print, on television, at events and in stores. Have you taken a close look lately at the graphic design used in your band CD package, your website, your Facebook page, your videos, on your merch, or the images you use to advertise your bluegrass-related event or product? Do the visual elements you’re using attract attention and also reflect the personality of your festival or band? Do you LOOK as good as you SOUND?
