Buckeye Bluegrass & Michigan Bluegrass Forum

Welcome to our forum. Feel free to post a message. This forum is for the promotion of Bluegrass Music in the states of Ohio and Michigan. If you have a question about a festival or a group, are looking for a special guitar, or just want to chat about the great show or jam you went to last night, here is the place. Let's all keep it clean and play nice, y'all here? For Michigan Bluegrass visitors... you'll have to use your back browser button to get back to the Michigan Bluegrass site! I'm sorry! Until we have seperate forums, we'll have to deal with this. We felt that one forum would be best and a little cheaper on our pocketbooks, since is all by donation and little bit of advertising! Hope you all understand!

Cigar Box Guitar Players

I'm looking for a Michigan connection to anyone who plays cigar box guitar or would like to. There is a revolution of musicians out there who play bluegrass (and anything else) on homemade instruments. There is a CBG festival in Hinton, West Virginia in September where they gather to play their unique instruments. I build 3 string slider cigar box guitars with amp jacks that sound great. Anyone with basic woodworking skills (and a cigar box) can build one when they know the concept. Some folks are building electric CBG's that they use in performances. Would like to share the fun with folks closer to home.
