The Kansas Prairie Pickers Association is a music organization in northeast Kansas interested in the preservation of Bluegrass and Old Time acoustic music. We get together on the fourth Sunday of October through April at the Community Center in Auburn, Kansas, with open jam sessions and stage performances by area bands and other groups. On the second weekend in June we have our annual festival at Prairie Lake, close to Holton, Kansas. Our members are in several area bluegrass bands and are available for hire. Hope you browse through our web site and get a feel for who we are. Better yet, come on out and jam with us a while!

Auburn Jam Season is HERE! We had our Chili Feed at Prairie Lake earlier in early October. The first jam is October 25 at the Auburn Community Center. The Center will also be doing a hog roast fund raiser for the meal. Proceeds will go to support the Center. This is always a good kick-off for the year so plan to attend.
Not much news yet for festivals in months to come. The next festival of note is the KBA Winter Bluegrass Festival, slated for February 19-20. This is a great one.
Still music to hear, so look at our calendar. Keep checking back for more info on the local acoustic scene.
(Note: For anyone who noticed this website was inactive lately, problems have included a crashed hard-drive, new upload software and our internet host 'lost' us. But we're back now.)
Happy pickin'
