We’re a small team with big ideas and a passion for doing things well.

The Sunshine State Bluegrass Foundation is led by a passionate group of musicians and community advocates dedicated to preserving and promoting bluegrass and traditional roots music.

Armando Zuppa, Richard Della Fera, and Nicholas Blanton share a deep love for bluegrass and the community that surrounds it. Together, they work to create opportunities for musicians, support educational programs, host live concerts featuring national bluegrass artists, and foster welcoming jam sessions where players of all levels can come together.

Through their efforts, the foundation continues to grow as a place where tradition, community, and music thrive.
