Bluegrass Unlimited is a founding member of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA).
Cybergrass was the first web site to ever carry a music awards show—the GRAMMYs in 1996 and has webcast the IBMA Awards show for every year they have been available from the International Bluegrass Music Association.
Formed in 1985, IBMA established its first headquarters in Owensboro, Kentucky.
These tours culminated in performances before the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) in Owensboro, Kentucky, alongside Emmylou Harris, Bill Monroe, Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, Doyle Lawson, Hot Rize, Peter Rowan, and others.
