While MSBA began as a "Mississippi" association, in 2009 MSBA
can boast
approximately 1200 members.  MSBA has active members in
Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Florida, Tennessee,
Arizona, Georgia,
Virginia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, Vermont and Kentucky.  

There are now approximately 30 Magnolia State Bluegrass
Association, Inc Bands

We are a very active group of bluegrass pickers, singers and fans with
activities year-round.
MSBA cooperates with other Bluegrass Associations in the surrounding
states
for maximum effectiveness.
It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform the MSBA of the passing
of Peggie Stringer.  Peggie and Johnnie Stringer have been long time
Bluegrass supporters and promote the Spring and Fall Legends of
Country and Bluegrass Show held at the Columbia Expo center in
Columbia, MS.
