Sad News from BBU

The Boston Bluegrass Union is saddened to report the passing of our dear colleague Stan Zdonik on 02/04/26. He was 79 and died due to complications from Parkinson’s Disease. Stan’s passion for bluegrass music was matched only by his generosity and vision. As a founder and the first President of the BBU, he dedicated fifty years to nurturing bluegrass in the Northeast and beyond, helping countless musicians and fans find a home in this music. Our deep condolences go out to his wife, Gail Mitchell, his sons David and Jim, and the entire Zdonik family. Stan’s contributions to the bluegrass community are enormously significant, and he will be sorely missed. I'll pass along further details as I have them. Gerry Katz
