Organized in 1991, SEBGA is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to the preservation of traditional Bluegrass music. The SEBGA serves the PEE DEE region of South Carolina.
Concerts are held the 1st Saturday of every month at Lynches River County Park, near Florence, SC. Jammers play into the late evening under the southern skies on the banks of the Lynches River. Two festivals—the spring and fall festivals are all day events. The spring festival is usually held in April and the fall festival in October. Events include an indoor concert featuring area bands. Outdoor is an informal gathering of local musicians of various skills who jam together, playing and singing traditional bluegrass songs. Bluegrass is rich in traditional folk and gospel songs. Come out and join us! If you play an instrument, bring it along and join the fun.
Hot sandwiches, snack foods and beverages are available for purchase.
The Lynches River begins in upper Lancaster County, near the North Carolina state line, and, on its way to the sea, meanders through lower Florence County eventually joining the Great Pee Dee River east of Johnsonville, SC. Lynches River has been a popular spot for fishermen for hundreds of years. Its nature trails are great for nature lovers and the river is great for fishing and canoeing. Its forest contain many species of animals and plants. Its beauty had been overlooked by many until recently when the County assumed responsibility for the park at Florence, SC, and began improvements. The recently renovated air-conditioned Conference Center is an ideal facility for private and public events. The Park is located off Old Number 4 Road, off route 52, a mile south of Effingham, SC and 10 miles south of Florence, SC.
SEBGA has a Young Musicians Program designed to assist young musicians wanting to learn to play and sing traditional bluegrass music.
The Southeastern Bluegrass Association's mission is to help preserve and further the love of Bluegrass music.
