Just to keep everyone entertained while the pandemic is keeping us apart, we'll be sharing past festival and concert moments here.
Of course, we'll also keep you posted on any 49th festival news. Here is something new from our past Fall and Spring concert series that we sponsor in Newark, DE. Like the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival, these concert series have been going on for decades and we have a lot of video to share.
Here's Brandywine Friends Concert Sampler #1 with the Red Squirrel Chasers, Koken & Milliner and festival favorite Danny Paisley. Enjoy...Enjoy!!
Hello Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival family and friends.
The board of directors of the Brandywine Friends of Old Time Music sadly must inform all that the 49th Annual festival will NOT be held this year and has been rescheduled for Labor Day weekend 2021. As of this moment we are uncertain what restrictions the state of New Jersey would impose in September and the possible limits on occupants. We feel it is better to be safe than sorry, and therefore we should close the gate now rather than face possible liabilities and risks later. All of the 2020 artists have been contacted and ALL have been invited to return next year.
ALL ticket sales will be refunded shortly.
The board regrets this decision but wants all of us to remain safe and healthy with an eye on the 2021 festival. It's been a good 48 year run. Watch for details at the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival web site. See you next year!!
BFOTM Spring Concert Series Postponed In the interest of public safety and in compliance with the State of Delaware's recently declared a State of Emergency to prevent the spread of coronavirus COVID-19, The Brandywine Friends of Old Time Music have decided to postpone our Spring Concert Series. We plan to reschedule the postponed concerts as soon as possible.
This list was compiled prior to the current Covid 19 pandemic. Due to state and federal guidelines, it is assumed that all of these jams have been canceled. As we obtain further information, we will update this site and send an email notice to all on the jam email list.
Below is a list of bluegrass or acoustic jams in the Delaware, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey region. If you know of changes in these jams or jams that are not included in this list send an email to bobslinden@yahoo.com.

Our official Festival Photographer, Priscilla Warnock, now has a selection of photos she has taken at the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festivals for sale on her web site. This includes many from the 2009-2011 festivals and a selection of shots from previous festivals, too. You have probably seen her work on the festival web site, in bluegrass magazines like Bluegrass Unlimited and even on a number of bluegrass CDs.
