Welcome to Permian Basin Bluegrass Music (PBBM) in Odessa, Texas. The West Texas Bluegrass Association was formed in 1990 at a time when there were no festivals at all in West Texas. Since then, festivals have been started in Andrews, Artesia NM, Littlefield, McCamey, Grape Creek, San Angelo, and Wickett.
In 2009, West Texas Bluegrass Association merged with Southeastern New Mexico Bluegrass Music to form PBBM.
Two annual campout/pickout jams are held in the area, one in December and the PBBM Summerfest Jam at the Texas RV Park in Big Spring, Texas, the 2nd weekend in June.
PBBM holds a meeting and open jam session at 1pm on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Jesus Connection Church, 4410 N. Andrews Highway in Odessa. Visitors and new members are always welcome. Membership includes a subscription to the monthly PBBM newsletter, with the most current and complete information about bluegrass events in West Texas and New Mexico.
