The Manitoba Old-Tyme and Bluegrass Society (MOBS) was incorporated as a non-profit organization on February 14, 1991. Its mandate is to preserve and promote old-time and bluegrass music fostering the use of acoustic stringed instruments. MOBS is run by a volunteer board of directors. All people (members or not) are welcome to enjoy bluegrass jamming at various locations. Camp-outs with workshops, open mike events and professional performances are held throughout the year. Members receive the “Dill Pickle Rag” which is our monthly newsletter. It contains details on a variety of bluegrass related events and ideas.
