Bluegrass music is making a comeback in Idaho. The Idaho Bluegrass Association has been around since the 1980s, but after membership waned, the group’s popularity has taken off in the past few years. Supported by new members and leadership, the group is putting on the first Idaho Bluegrass Winterfest this weekend in Boise. 

Petra Schwarthoff and Joe Gobel are avid bluegrass musicians and organizers of the event. They join Idaho Matters to talk more about the festival.
