Development of Bluegrass Nation, IBMA’s forthcoming web community for bluegrass artists, businesses and fans, kicked into high gear before Christmas, and we're getting set to
announce a nation-wide logo contest for Bluegrass Nation through a company called Creative Allies.
After an exhaustive (and exhausting) search, IBMA’s Bluegrass Nation team chose Charlottesville, Va. web developer Ryan DeRose to lead coding of this new social network and nerve center for bluegrass music news, media and information. DeRose came to IBMA’s attention after developing an innovative, socially wired website for the Infamous Stringdusters. He’s part of a dynamic independent music sector doing great things out of the Virginia college town.
