Teaching Bluegrass Workshop with High 48s Oct. 17

I’m excited to announce that I will be teaching a bluegrass band workshop with the The High 48s from 1-5pm on Oct. 17th!

While I will be doing some breakout sessions teaching the banjo students in the group, the workshop is really a crash course in playing and performing with others- super useful stuff that you won’t find in any books/DVDs.

Topics will include arranging songs and vocal harmonies, playing backup, playing solos, building repertoire and writing set lists. We’ll also talk a little about jam etiquette and how to jam at a bluegrass festival or pickin’ party.

Details

When: October  17, 2015. The workshop runs from 1pm to 5pm. Concert from 5-5:30pm.

Where: Crossings at Brookwood, 6201 Lilac Drive, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
