We’re excited to announce that Banjo Warehouse is a 2026 sponsor of the Sterling Bluegrass Jamboree in Mt. Sterling, Ohio!

The Jamboree is one of Central Ohio’s best-kept secrets—live bluegrass, gospel, and roots music every weekend in a family-friendly venue with great food (the homemade pie is legendary), professional sound, and an incredible community atmosphere.

About the Sterling Bluegrass Jamboree

Owner Kenny Curry started the Jamboree in 2014 with a simple vision: bring national bluegrass acts and local talent to an indoor stage in Mt. Sterling, Ohio. What began in an old elementary school has grown into one of the state’s premier weekly bluegrass venues.

Location: 26 East Main Street, Mt. Sterling, Ohio
Schedule: Doors open at 5 PM, music starts at 6 PM
Tickets: Available at sterlingbluegrass.com

Why We’re Proud to Sponsor

At Banjo Warehouse, we believe in supporting the venues and events that keep bluegrass music alive. The Sterling Bluegrass Jamboree is exactly the kind of grassroots, community-driven venue that makes Ohio such a great place for bluegrass fans.

If you’re in the Ohio area and haven’t been to the Jamboree, we highly recommend it. Great music, great people, and some of the best pie you’ll find anywhere.

See you there! 🪕
