MUSIC AT ​La Roche Bluegrass Festival 

50 free concerts - JAMMING - WORKSHOP

​La Roche Bluegrass Festival is 35 bands from 15 countries playing 50 free concerts on two festival stages and at various locations around the town of La Roche.
With each country incorporating its own folk traditions into their interpretation of Bluegrass music, we love the diversity of bands showcased every year at La Roche Bluegrass Festival and you will always find a good flavour of Irish, Russian, Slav, French, Italian and, of course, American music in the Bluegrass on display.
We also run a 3-day training camp in the days before the festival.
