Bay Area Bluegrass Association

The Bay Area Bluegrass Association, aka BABA, hosts monthly shows on the third Saturday of each month at the Johnny Arolfo Civic Center (except in December) at 300 W. Walker, League City, Texas and the FIRE ON THE STRINGS FESTIVAL at Haven's Landing Resort the third weekend of May.

These monthly shows are free and feature Bluegrass from the local and national scene. The stage show begins at 6:30 PM, but pickers are welcome to bring their instruments and come earlier.

Listen in as Ed Fryday tells Talk of the Bay about BABA and the toe tappin’ music he loves.

The primary purpose for the Bay Area Bluegrass Association is to preserve, encourage, and promote Bluegrass and Bluegrass Gospel music as an American art form.

BABA has supported many bay area community functions, fund raisers, festivals and shows. Including Crime Stoppers fund raiser; Armand Bayou Nature Center's Fall Festival; the Annual Fire On The Strings Bluegrass Festival; Bluegrass In The Park at League Park; Dickinson Parks Dept. concert series; and providing entertainment for area nursing homes, churches, and service organizations.

Stop This Train sound bite is performed by The Lonestar Bluegrass Band on the BABA Sessions CD.
