The SCBTMA's primary objectives are to preserve, promote, publicize, and support these unique musical styles through concerts, workshops, and public education programs. We invite you to join us in sharing the future of bluegrass and traditional music in South Carolina. Your membership and personal involvement can make a difference.

The SCBTMA:

• Works with other nationally recognized organizations with the same objectives.

• Consciously provides a family setting in which experienced musicians can pass on this musical heritage to younger ones via the oral tradition.

• Strives for public recognition of outstanding SC musicians.

It is with heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our beloved friend Selma Louise Wells. As the wife of the founder of Bills Music Shop and Pickin' Parlor, Bill Wells, Mrs. Wells was the ever present matriarch who greeted everyone with a warm smile and friendly greeting. Bill and Louise were the first to be awarded "Lifetime Memberships" to the South Carolina Bluegrass and Traditional Music Association. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Wells family and may God extend His blessing on them.
